It is now a matter of history how Government and private expeditions prosecuted, with unprecedented zeal and perseverance, the search for Sir John Franklin's ships, between the years 1847-55; and that the only ray of information gleaned was that afforded by the inscriptions upon three tombstones at Beechey Island, briefly recording the names and dates of the deaths of those individuals of the lost expedition, who thus early fell in the cause of science and of their country. Not from the publisher: Of the many explorations in search of the fate of John Franklin this is a personal favorite - the pure excitement of Captain M'clintock's writing makes every page thrilling as he relentlessly pursues his goal.
