Published in Britain in 1885, this is an account of two late nineteenth-century Arctic rescue missions by American sailor and engineer George W. Melville (1841–1912). Journeying over a thousand miles across Siberia, Melville overcame the deadly hardships of an Arctic winter in a vain search for stranded survivors.
