Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Greenland Icefields and Life in the North Atlantic: With a New Discussion of the Causes of the Ice Age
On the 21st of August we set out for home, with the Miranda taking the Rigel in tow, but at the end of thirty-six hours, at midnight, when we were 300 miles from land and the sea was rolling heavily, the leak in the Miranda started anew, and she sounded the Signal of distress, informing us that it was necessary to aban don her, and that we should lie to with the cable with which we were towed still attached until the officers and the crew could be transferred to the schooner.
