Excerpt from The White North: With Nordenskiöld, De Long, and Nansen After a long fight the ice yielded up the secret of the N orth-west Passage, but it not only demanded in exchange the lives of Sir John Franklin and his gal lant comrades, but it retained its position as master of the Situation, and declined to Open the route. Half the riddle was thus unsatisfactorily solved, but though for hundreds of years English, Dutch, Russian, and Scandinavian explorers had been endeavouring to clear up the other half, the N orth-east Passage stub bornly preserved its mystery.
