It was on Tuesday, May 29th, 1860, that I departed from New London, Conn., on my voyage in the barque George Henry. We were accompanied by a tender, the Amaret schooner, formerly the far-famed Rescue of arctic celebrity—a name that I intend to retain in speaking of her throughout my narrative. (English)

On another occasion, while travelling in a bitter cold day, facing a cutting breeze, I found great difficulty in keeping the lower parts of my body from freezing. The Innuits saw me trying to shield myself and gain additional warmth by adjusting a thickly-folded scarf; this they took from me, made it into a girdle, and tied it tightly round my body just above the hips. This restored warmth to me at once, and warded off the danger of freezing. (English)
