Excerpt from A Summer Search for Sir John Franklin: With a Peep Into the Polar Basin Mr. Bardin, the engineer, had been origin ally engaged for the vessel by Captain Beatson, and having superintended the construction of the engines I was very glad to obtain his services. Each of these officers, entering fully with me into the Spirit of our enterprise, agreed to go at wages much below what they would have received in the government service and to each I feel my thanks are due for the manner in which they came forward and offered themselves unreservedly to me in this perilous undertaking. Dr. Sutherland, the surgeon, having been engaged in the previous arctic expedition under Mr. Penny, and before that in two whaling voyages, was, from his experience in the meteor ology of those climes, an invaluable acquisition to our numbers.

Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ... On rounding Cape Alexander the full glory of being actually in the Polar Sea burst upon my thoughts, for then I beheld the open sea stretching through seven points of the compass, and apparently unencumbered with ice though bounded on east and west by two distinct headlands; the one on the western shore was named after His Royal Highness Prince Albert, as, by a happy coincidence, it was at twelve P.m., on his birthday, that the point was first observed. Immediately to the northward of Cape Alexander some extraordinary table-topped cliffs attracted our notice, and so perfectly even and marked into galleries did they appear, that my mind immediately associating them with the glassy sides of the Great Exhibition, I named them the Crystal Palace Cliffs. Very careful sketches were made of the headlands, and angles were taken to fix their position. The changed appearance of the land to the northward of Cape Alexander was very remarkable south of this cape; nothing but snow-capped hills and cliffs met the eye, but to the northward, an agreeable change seemed to have been worked by some invisible agency--here the rocks appeared of their natural black or reddish brown colour, and the snow, which had clad with heavy flakes the more southern shore, had only partially dappled them in this higher latitude, whilst the western shore, which was girt with a belt of ice upwards of twelve miles broad, seemed clad with perpetual snows. We pushed on while the weather was fair, and beautiful indeed was the prospect before us; the sun had just sheltered himself for an hour below the horizon, and still shot his rays far into the northern sky, tinging the snows on the western land with crimson hues, and throwing a glow over nature which ill accorded with the...
