Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Years of Arctic Service, Vol. 1: An Account of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition of 1881-84 and the Attainment of the Farthest North These volumes appear in response to the demands of the general public for a popular account of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition; and in their preparation I have spared neither health nor strength since the rendition of my official narrative to the War Department has left me free. The Secretary of War kindly granted me authority to incorporate in this work such official journals, maps, etc., as I might desire. This narrative, however, is based on my diary, though I have drawn freely, always with credit, from the official field reports, and also from the very complete journals of Lieutenant Lockwood and Sergeant Brainard, the only regular diaries, with my own, kept during the retreat and our subsequent life at Camp Clay. Fearing exaggeration, I have occasionally modified statements and opinions entered in my original journal, believing it better to underrate than enlarge the wonders of the Arctic regions, which have been too often questioned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Years of Arctic Service: An Account of the Lady Franklin Expedition of 1881-84 and the Attainment of the Farthest North It is ten years to-day since the survivors of the Lady Franklin Expedition were rescued, but interest in the story of their achievements and sufferings has not materially abated. The amount and character of their field and scientific work have received international recognition. Not only did the party attain the "highest North" of all time, which yet remains unsurpassed, but it determined the insularity of Greenland and discovered and traced scores of miles to the northward, the unknown shores of a new land. In physical science its work stands unique, as the only complete set of astronomical, magnetic, meteorological, pendulum, and tidal observations ever made in a very high latitude. These observations have enabled scientists to determine that the diurnal inequality of the tidal-wave conforms at Lady Franklin Bay to the sidereal day and to calculate for the Smith Sound region the secular variation of magnetic declination for past years, while, in the words of an acknowledged authority, by a series of pendulum "observations, ... far the best that have ever been made within the arctic circle, ... [its] determination of gravity has been signally successful." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Gardiner supplemented my remarks on North Carolina to-day by a very interesting account of plantation life in that State. Our police work is now done in rotation, one man each day being required to remove the slops, keep open the water-hole, and bring the water for the cooks. The exemptions from this duty, which requires from twenty to thirty minutes' work once a fortnight, are as follows: Myself, Dr. Pavy, Brainard, who has his hands full issuing rations; the cooks, Biederbick, who is steward; Henry, whose toe is frost-bitten; and Israel, who, though well, is physically very weak; Gardiner's sore hand also excuses him; and Cross, in accordance with the doctor's advice, has been directed to saw the wood for the party, which is done within doors, and thus prevents him from exposure to cold, to which he is very sensitive." " December 18th.--My remarks to-day were on Florida; delightful by contrast, if for no other reason." Brainard's diary says at this date: " One phase of our life on a starvation diet is the unanimity with which every body reproaches himself for not having eaten more when he had an opportunity. No person appears to have ever disliked any dish of which he has partaken." " December 19th.--A heavy storm to-day. Had a great deal of trouble in opening the water-hole; and, in default of volunteers, I assisted the regular water-carrier myself. The chisel was lost from the stick, but I managed to find it; and Brainard, coming to the rescue, struck water later. I am so weak that my work amounted to nothing except its stimulating and encouraging effects." Lieutenant Lockwood says: " We are all very weak, and I feel an apathy and cloudiness impossible to shake off. It is a great difficulty to know each night just how much hard...
