Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Siege and Conquest of the North Pole My chief object in compiling this work has been to supply a brief account of the main efforts which have been made to reach the North Pole. The subject is now so extensive that few have the opportunity of covering the whole ground. While the exciting and specially interesting incidents have not been omitted, the book aims at giving the reader an intelligent idea of the equipment and other means by which the work of exploration has been carried on. The many expeditions which have set out to find a north-west or a north-east passage do not come within the scope of the book, except when they have had some special bearing on the struggle for the Pole. Those who may wish to pursue the subject further by consulting the original authors can be assured that no works of fiction relate greater deeds of heroism than are found in the records of Arctic exploration; and that while they may satisfy their love for the adventurous they will add something to their geographical knowledge.

She might easily have been confounded with other brigs in port by the ordinary onlooker, and yet to the practised eye Of a sailor there were certain peculiarities about her which made her unmistakable, as appeared from the conversation Of a group of men assembled on the deck of the Nautilus, a vessel lying close by. They were eagerly discussing the probable destination of the Forward and each one had his. Own conjecture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Open Polar Sea: A Narrative of a Voyage of Discovery Towards the North Pole, in the Schooner "United States" The interest which has been freshly awakened in the progress of Arctic discovery by the recent expeditions towards the North Pole has appeared to justify my experienced publisher in issuing a new edition of this work, about which it may not be inappropriate to observe here, as in the Preface to the former edition, that, rather than confine myself strictly to a record of scientific investigations, I have aimed, so far as the narrative would allow, to bring before the mind of the reader a general picture of the strange life and sublime scenery of a quarter of the world to which we have all been drawn, from childhood, by the ever-powerful charm of the mysterious and unknown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great White North: The Story of Polar Exploration From the Earliest Times to the Discovery of the Pole The material for this book has been gathered from the rich storehouse of Arctic Literature. The chief labour of its composition lay in elimination rather than construc tion. The great field I have endeavoured to present can hardly be brought with justice to the narrow bounds of a single cover, but I have conscientiously endeavoured to bring to the reader's mind an accurate record of bril liant deeds that go to make the history of the far North, and have let the explorers themselves tell the story of how these deeds have been accomplished.
