McDougall's narrative of his experiences as master of Kellett's Resolute on the five-ship expedition led by Sir Edward Belcher to continue the Franklin search by way of the Barrow Strait. Eventually the Resolute became icebound and abandoned in 1854.
The author describes the voyage and subsequent months in the Arctic, gives useful description of the ice conditions, the process of wintering the ship and keeping the crew entertained; the sledge journeys, encounters with musk oxen, polar bear, lemmings, ptarmigan and other game, and remarks on the dogs and harness.
