PREFACE.
FOR more than three hundred years an intensedesire has been felt by explorers todiscover and reveal to the world the secrets ofthe immediate regions of the North Pole. Norhas this desire been confined to mere adventurers.Learned geographers, skillful navigators,and scientific men of broad and accurate study,have engaged in these enterprises with enthusiasticinterest. The great governments of theChristian world have bestowed upon them liberallythe resources of their wealth and science,and never to a greater extent than within the lastthree years. Failure seems but to stimulateexertion. Scarcely have the tears dried on thefaces of the friends of those who have perishedin the undertaking before we hear of the departureof a fresh expedition. Something likea divine inspiration has attended these explorationsfrom the first, and their moral tone hasbeen excellent.
This volume sketches the latest Americanefforts, second to no others in heroism and success,and abounding in instructive and intenselyinteresting adventures both grave and gay.
We have followed in this volume, as in itscompanion volume, "The Arctic Heroes," theorthography of Professor Dall, of the SmithsonianInstitution, in some frequently-occurringArctic words.
