Ice Bound, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Ice Bound, Vol. 1 of 3

On the last day of May, 1836, the Stormy Petrel set sail from Hull harbour, on a pretended whaling expedition, but really on a voyage of discovery, in search of the passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific - a favourite dream of our brave old commander, Captain Beaver, who died five years ago last Michaelmas, in the Orkney Islands.
