Catalogue Note
A rare work, missing from many of the standard bibliographies. These are the recollections of a young British naval officer with much material on Alaska, the Northwest and California, as well as Hawaii and China. The account covers the expedition in the Herald (in company with the Plover) under Captain Kellet during the years 1845-51. While in the north Pacific it made three consecutive voyages in search of Sir John Franklin's lost expedition.
