as a classic in the literature of Arctic exploration.”—Standard, 
‘At times so thrilling as to be almost painful to read. A truly princely book.”

which, besides being of absorbing interest to the general reader, is full of most 
valuable hints and information for any who may wish to follow his example.”— 
Westminster Gazette. 
“Tt is an intensely dramatic story.”—Daily Express. 
“‘The experiences of this little band read like an Odyssey of romance. Of all 
the famous Arctic exploits they compare alone with the great ice march of Nansen, 
and they do not yield to that in interest, importance, or daring. A book which 
contains in so sumptuous a form such an Odyssey and such a record must neces- 
sarily become a classic,”—Daztly Mail. 
‘‘These volumes constitute a worthy record of a great achievement in the field 
of Arctic exploration.”—Pall Mall Gazette. 
‘(In these two sumptuous volumes we have an admirable record, full of fine 
heroism and adventure.”—Daily News.
