The ship stops moving, and the real story starts. Ballantyne sends a crew into the Arctic and holds them there through the long dark: the pressure of the ice, the hunting, the cold that kills carelessness first. Written for young readers by a man who had worked the northern trade himself, and still one of the great tellers of hard weather.
