Previous owners neat dated signature both volumes otherwise contents clean. Appears unread. The account of the voyage to Smith Sound and of the winter on the north-west coast of Greenland with extensive notes on the flora and fauna. No one had yet sailed beyond its northern portals. Kane determined to do so. John P. Kennedy secretary of the navy gave enthusiastic personal support and Henry Grinnell donated the brig Advance. Private subscription financed the enterprise. No trace of Franklin's party was found by the expedition but the coasts of Kane Basin were charted and Kennedy Channel was discovered Meteorological magnetic astronomical and tidal observations botanical glacial and geological surveys studies of animal and Eskimo life established sound foundations for the scientific study of the Arctic. In August 1854 Hayes the surgeon and eight men protesting the commander's resolve to remain a second winter announced their determination to hazard the journey to the South Greenland settlements. Kane sanctioning the withdrawal equipped them from limited supplies. In December they returned to the vessel broken in body and morale. Kane became doctor nurse and cook to a shipful of bedridden men. With indomitable courage he planned and then executed their escape. The Advance still frozen in was abandoned May 20 1855. With the loss of one man the party carrying the invalids reached Upernivik in eighty-three days a retreat which stands in the annals of Arctic exploration as archetype of victory in defeat.
