Voyage into the Ice
The expedition. Everyone in Deptford knew what that meant. It consisted of the copper-sheathed brigs Dorothea and Trent, which were being loaded with everything needed at the North Pole.
‘Above all, leather jackets and fur coats,’ the furriers hoped.
‘Action books,’ said a bookseller. ‘It’s very dull there.’
‘Audacious men,’ surmised the ladies of London society, and let themselves be driven there by coach to sightsee.
Everybody insisted on knowing the precise orders received by the expedition. One person wanted to hear about it directly from the Admiralty, another from Captain Buchan, commander of the enterprise. Some cited Lieutenant Franklin, captain of the Trent. Others doubted it: ‘Franklin? He never says anything.’
