Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from After Big Game in Arctic and Tropic: A Sportman's Note-Book of the Chase Off Greenland and Alaska; In Africa, Norway, Spitzbergen, and the Cassair
Early July promising the best chances for openings in the pack, we selected this for departure. The volcanic island. Jan Mayen, should also be touched.
Our purpose was to leave an over-wintering expedition of three men at that place, these to be called for the next year.
How much farther north than 80 we got, and what we saw of East Greenland, as well as the variety of game se cured, the narrative, in due course, will show. Suffice it, the novel experiences the cruise afforded, the bear, seal, and other specimens of fauna as well as of flora obtained in ex cess of anticipation, went far to recompense for such other endeavors as we failed to attain.
