The Quest Expedition and its Lessons

Abstract

CLOSE upon the heels of the excellent “Life of Sir Ernest Shackleton,” by Dr. H. R. Mill, comes the story of his last voyage. It is told by his old comrade in adventure, who took part in all the expeditions with which Shackleton was connected, and whose experience of Antarctic life was even greater than Shackleton's. Commander Wild is assisted in his literary labour by a member of the expedition who seems to have been invaluable at every turn, Dr. A. H. Macklin.

By Comdr. Frank Wild. From the Official Journal and Private Diary kept by Dr. A. H. Macklin. Pp. xvi + 372 + 100 plates. (London, New York, Toronto and Melbourne: Cassell and Co. Ltd., 1923.) 30s. net.
