A little about the story
Young Fred Ellice sails on the whaling ship Dolphin with old sailor John Buzzby, bound for the Arctic. They hunt whales and walrus, meet the Inuit, are trapped in the ice and struggle to survive the polar winter.
R. M. Ballantyne wrote vividly about the far north. The book reflects the attitudes of its time.
