ift on the ice-floe, a history of the Polaris expedition, and the rescue of the Polaris survivors. The next American to push north with the great idea was Lieutenant De Long under the auspices of the New York Herald. A vessel named the Jeanette, supplied with provisions for three years, sailed in July, 1879, from San Francisco, entering the Polar Sea through Bering Strait. The Jeanette was sunk by ice in June, 188. The crew got to Herald Island and thence steered for the mouth of the Lena River in three boats, of which one was lost; and the crew of another, including De Long, starved and froze to death on land, while George W. Melville and nine more reached a small native village. After a fruitless search for the others he came home, to return again to the search. He wrote In the Lena Delta, a narrative of the search for Lieutenant commander De long, and his companions (1885). Another volume is, The narrative of the Jeanette Arctic expedition as related by the survivors, etc. R
