As the test of comparison between the temperature of tie seasons of 1830 and 1831, the following is the scale of the external atmosphere tor the month of May. The first of June was the day appointed for the araputaton of Taylor's foot, as Mr. Mc'Diarmid evidently saw, that it never could be of any further use to him. The diseased part was poulticed every day, since he was brought on board, made sometimes with soft bread, and at another time with oatmeal. I' was, however, the particular wish of Taylor, that Capt. Ross should be on board at the time when the operation took place, and therefore it was postponed until his return. It became, however, a question with Mr. McTJiarmid, whether the postponement of the operation might not endanger the life of his patient, and therefore he determined not to wait the return of Capt. Ross; on the inspection of the foot, however, it was found to be too much swelled, to allow of the operation being performed, and therefore the postponement became a matter of necessity. The return of Capt. Ross was not looked for, for some days, but, to the great surprise of the crew, he suddenly mau his appearance amongst them, leaving his party nearly a day's journey behind him. From the well known repugnance of Capt. Rosb, to expose himself, without the most urgent necessity, to any inclemency of the weather, his arrival could not have jeen looked for on this day, as the wind was excessively high, with the snow drifting so heavily, that it was difficult to discern a hundred yards in advance. His motive for leaving his party, and travelling to the ship by himself never transpired; nor, perhaps, was there any foundation for the rumour, which was current on board, as to the cause which impelled him to an act, so...

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Discovery and Exploration of the Northwest Passage written by Alan Day and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2006-01-03 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northwest Passage was repeatedly sought for over four centuries. From the first attempt in the late 15th century to Roald Amundsen's famous voyage of 1903-1906 where the feat was first accomplished to expeditions in the late 1940s by the Mounties to discover an even more northern route, author Alan Day covers all aspects of the ongoing quest that excited the imagination of the world. This compendium of explorers, navigators, and expeditions tackles this broad topic with a convenient, but extensive cross-referenced dictionary. A chronology traces the long succession of treks to find the passage, the introduction helps explain what motivated them, and the bibliography provides a means for those wishing to discover more information on this exciting subject.

Download or read book The Man Who Ate His Boots written by Anthony Brandt and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the triumphant end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, the British took it upon themselves to complete something they had been trying to do since the sixteenth century: find the fabled Northwest Passage. For the next thirty-five years the British Admiralty sent out expedition after expedition to probe the ice-bound waters of the Canadian Arctic in search of a route, and then, after 1845, to find Sir John Franklin, the Royal Navy hero who led the last of these Admiralty expeditions. Enthralling and often harrowing, The Man Who Ate His Boots captures the glory and the folly of this ultimately tragic enterprise.
Download or read book The Arctic Grail written by Pierre Berton and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of nineteenth-century expeditions battled savage cold, relentless ice and winter darkness in pursuit of two great prizes: the quest for the elusive Passage linking the Atlantic and the Pacific and the international race to reach the North Pole. Pierre Berton's #1 best-selling book brings to life the great explorers: the pious and ambitious Edward Parry, the flawed hero John Franklin, ruthless Robert Peary and the cool Norwegian Roald Amundsen. He also credits the Inuit, whose tracking and hunting skills saved the lives of the adventurers and their men countless times. These quests are peopled with remarkable figures full of passion and eccentricity. They include Charles Hall, an obscure printer who abandoned family and business to head to a frozen world of which he knew nothing; John Ross, whose naval career ended when he spotted a range of mountains that didn't exist; Frederick Cook, who faked reaching the North Pole; and Jane Franklin, who forced an expensive search for her missing husband upon a reluctant British government. Pierre Berton, who won his first Governor General's award for The Mysterious North, here again gives us an important and fascinating history that reads like a novel as he examines the historic events of the golden age of Arctic exploration.
