Description: The story of the Karluk "As related by her master, Robert A. Bartlett, and here set down by Ralph T. Hale." "For five months, the Karluk remained frozen in a massive block of ice, drifting farther off course. In January 1914, with a thunderous impact, the ice tore a hole in the vessel's hull, and the redoubtable captain, Robert Bartlett, gave orders to abandon ship. With nothing but half the ship's store of supplies and the polar ice beneath their feet, Captain Bartlett, twenty-one men, an Inuit woman and her two small daughters, twenty-nine dogs, and one pet cat were now hopelessly shipwrecked in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, hundreds of miles from land" (from book jacket, "The Ice Master: the Doomed 1913 Voyage of the Karluk," by Jennifer Niven).
