#1 The commander of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition, A. W. Greely, was bound for the top of the world. He was fascinated and awed by the ice. He understood the dangers and stark realities of Arctic journeys, but he was ready to face them.

#2 A. W. Greely was in charge of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition. He was to set up the northernmost of a chain of research stations around the Arctic, collect magnetic, astronomical, and meteorological data, and search for and hopefully rescue the men of the lost USS Jeannette.

#3 The Proteus was a steamer designed for the sealing trade. It was commanded by Capt. Richard Pike, one of the most experienced ice navigators in Newfoundland. It made land at the windswept western shores of Greenland at Godhavn, Disko Island.

#4 On July 20, a Louisiana-born Frenchman, Dr. Octave Pavy, arrived from nearby Ritenbenck, where he’d spent the past year serving as naturalist in an ambitious colonization attempt organized by U. S. Army captain Henry Howgate.
