Excerpt from Franklin's Footsteps: A Sketch of Greenland, Along the Shores of Which His Expedition Passed, and of the Parry Isles, Where the Last Traces of It Were Found
Concluded in the disappearance of Sir John Frank lin's vessels. What follows is a narrative of the Expedition under the command of Captain Austin, in 1850-51, in search of the m1ss1ng ships and their ill-fated crews; and in this Expedition I was one of the humblest as well as one of the youngest labourers. Thus I have endeavoured to furnish the reader, at one view, and in a condensed form, with a connected history of what has been done by way of discovery in the ice-bound regions of the north from the earliest periods to the present time.
