Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fast in the Ice: Or Adventures in the Polar Regions Many a hearty cheer was given, many a kind wish was uttered, many a handkerchief was waved, and many a tearful eye gazed that day as the vessel left Old England, and steered her course into the unknown regions of the far north. But no cheer ever greeted her return; no bright eyes ever watched her homeward bound sails rising on the far-off horison.
