Passage, and does not strictly come within the scope of 

 this book. Although the many expeditions which were 

 sent out in search of Franklin and his men were the

 any special bearing on the struggle for the Pole. This 

 was the one commanded bv Dr. Kane, and will be treated 

 in the next chapter.
