Excerpt from Stray Leaves From an Arctic Journal: Or, Eighteen Months in the Polar Regions in Search of Sir John Franklin's Expedition, in the Years 1850-51 To the ofiicers and men serving under my command, I can offer no higher compliment than in having thus placed their severe and zealous labours before the public; and no professional reader who reads these Stray Leaves, can fail, I am certain, to perceive how heavily must have fallen the labours here recounted upon the men and officers of the steam tenders, and how deep an obligation I their commander must be under to them for their untiring exertions, by which this, the first and severe trial of steam in the Arctic regions, was brought to a successful issue.
