Sample Book Insights:
#1 The out-of-work explorer’s situation is not a happy one. He is broke, and often worse than that. He longs to be off again, away from the fretting ties of civilization.
#2 I knew two of the men who died in the expedition: Mylius-Erichsen, a dauntless idealist, dreamer and poet, and the faithful Greenlander Jørgen Brønlund. I thought about their expedition and how they had tried to find the land in the Beaufort Sea, but they never succeeded.
#3 I was able to obtain the money I needed to send an expedition to Greenland. I was promised by the Danish government that it would cover half the cost of mine, and the Committee of the Danmark Expedition, which had undertaken to act as my guarantor, agreed that more should be done.
#4 I found a suitable ship, Alabama, in Stavanger. She was a Nordland yacht and roomy for a ship of her size, for she was only forty-five tons. She was cheap too, costing only 6000 Crowns.
