Black-cloth cover, very light rubbing to back. Illustrated, unclipped jacket, very minor edge-wear. Pages clean straight & unmarked. Tight binding. " 'Karluk' set sail on its ill-fated expedition to the Arctic in June 1913. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Canadian explorer and captain of the ship, led 25 crew members - seamen and scientists - on a journey from which eleven of them would never return. The ship was trapped in the ice after only a few weeks. Ill-prepared and lacking in any effective leadership, the men were forced to abandon 'Karluk'. McKinlay was only twenty-five when he joined the expedition and . untrained in any of the skills essential . lying, stealing and cheating were common and lack of comradeship intensified the terrible deprivations they faced. He tells of their ordeal in a deeply moving account of this extraordinary story..". 001182 Price: 16.00 AUD
