Excerpt from Thomas Hickey's Narrative of the Last Arctic Expedition of Dr. Kane Mv connection with Dr. Kane commenced at St. John's, Newfoundland, where I entered his service as second stew ard. Seven years spent in this region in hunting seals upon the ice, had prepared me somewhat for the trials of an Arctic life, and it was, in fact, chie¿y for this reason that Dr. Kane desired me to join his party. I shipped with little hesitation, expecting. It is true, to encounter hard ships, but not with a full sense of the horrors through which I was about to pass. Indeed, had I been aware of it all, I could not have hesitated to follow a commander whose eye indicated so much bravery and benevolence.
