Book Description
Excerpt from A Journey to the North Pole The Forward was a brig Of 170 tons, fitted up with a screw propeller and an engine of mo-horse power. She might easily have been confounded with other brigs in port by the ordinary onlooker, and yet to the practised eye Of a sailor there were certain peculiarities about her which made her unmistakable, as appeared from the conversation Of a group of men assembled on the deck of the Nautilus, a vessel lying close by. They were eagerly discussing the probable destination of the Forward and each one had his. Own conjecture.
