"We advise all who desire to enjoy a genuine and unalloyed pleasure to read his 

 book, which will bear more than one perusal. We are mistaken if it does not take rank 

 with the best of our English arctic narratives, and become a permanent favorite with 

 old and young. The well-executed illustrations from the pencil of the author add 

 greatly to the value and attractions of the \iQ<^"— London Times. 



"Lieutenant Payer has written its story in a style not surpassed in fascinating in- 

 terest and scientific value by any of those old narratives that are still the delight of all 

 who love to read of the adventures of daring xti^xi"— Nature. 



"No arctic navigator, since the days of William Barentz, has had a more startling 

 tale to tell, and not one has told it better." — Aikeneeum. 



" Cold-blooded, indeed, must the reader be who can study these volumes without a 

 thrill of almost too intense excitement. For literary power, the story of the Tegetthoff 

 stands in the very front rank of arctic narrative." — Graphic. 



"The result of the voyage is given by Lieutenant Payer in a magnificent work. 

 . . . No more stirring chronicle of adventure was ever penned. ... It is impossible 

 to avoid recording our tribute of admiration to the heroic endurance with which, after 

 abandoning their ship, they struggled for months across a treacherous floating desert 

 of ice in their return home." — London Quarterly. 



" This remarkable adventure, the record of which stands, in many respects, alone 

 amid the stories of arctic discovery. ... The book presents a singularly vivid picture 

 of a marvelous expedition."— ^^z«^wr^A Review. 



" M. Payer tells bis story with the simple directness of a man who knows that his 

 unvarnished tale has power in itself to move the reader. There is throughout his nar- 

 rative a charm rarely to be met with in the tales of arctic adventure and discovery." — 

 London Spectator. 



" It is one of the most interesting tales of personal experiences, of hardship, toil, 

 and peril, of valiant endurance and performance, to be found in the records of seafaring 

 life and enterprise. Lieutenant Payer relates it altogether well, simply and modestly, 

 -without any self-glorification, but fully setting forth, in justice to his comrades and 

 shipmates of all ranks, their actual labors and privations." — London Sat. Review.
