The almost forgotten Britons who explored northern EUes mere island were part of an unsuccessful effort to reach the Pole. But even In the teeth of defeat, die exhausted travel ers did not neglect to chorus "God Save the Queen" and toast Her Majesty's health with grog. The region of Cape Columbia and Ward Hum Island is the is the jumping off point for die Stalb North Pole Expedition su pported by the National Geog raphic Society. The skiers, wno arrived in northern Ellesmere Island on March 10, hope to make an unprecedented traver se of the Pole to the Eurasian land mass. TO USE DOG SLEDGES Bjrn Stalb, a 25-year-old Norwegian from Oslo, and 10 other young men will use dog sledges to carry food and sup plies on their trip, just as Adm iral Robert E. Peary did on his discovery journey in 1908-09. Peary also made Cape Columbia his start log point. The 1876 British expedition from Her Majesty's Ships Al ert and Discovery hauled Its sl edges by hand, rather than with dogs. The Britons set stand ards of endurance that remain remarkahle today. One of the expedition's parties was forced to turn back because of lack of food when on ly 3991/2 miles from the Pole. Another' explored the north co ast of Greenland. A third trav eled westward on Ellesmere Is land, reconnoitered Cape Col umbia, and first set foot on Ward Hum. naming it after Geo rge Ward Hum, First Lord of the Admiralty at that time. Details of this expedition are recounted In voyage to the Polar Sea in H.M. Snips 'Alert' and 'Discovery' (London, 1878) by Captain Sir G. S. Nares, com mander of the venture. Captain Nares had been ord ered to reach the North Pole, if possible, and "from winter quarters to explore the ad jacent coasts within the reach of tra veling parties. . .." exube EXUBERANT SPIRITS He sent out reconnaissance parties from the Alert, anchor ed near cape Sheridan, and the Discovery, farther to the south, one of the Alert parties, led by Commander Albert H.Markham dragged a sledge in waist deep snow to Latitude 83 degrees 20' 26" North before turning back 1 on May 12. W?. Commander Markham described the moment -One this being announced three cheers were given, with one more for Captain Nares; then the whole party, in the ex uberance of their spirits M hav ing reached their turning point Tmrya the 'Union jack of Old En gland,' the ? Grand Palaeocry stlc Sledging Chorus,' winding up like loyal subjects, with 'God Save the Queen-' " in the meantime, the second Alert party, commanded bv Sen ior Llemcnant Pelham Aldrlch. went north and west foramonth and a half before returning. Th ese men are almost forgotten, but they left their names at landmarks on their journey Good Point, Doldge Bay. Stubbs Point, Wood Point. Cape Aldrlch. and Mitchell Point. The farthest point they reached was Yel vert on Bay. On the return, Lieut enam Aldrlch stopped at Ward Hunt island May 30. 1876. He re ported In Ms Journal: "Had a hard clamber up a steep slope on the south side of the Island. wMch was covered with deep snow, and reached the top of a ridge about 600 feet above the ice. . . .1 found tMs nearly bare of snow and com poses of small stones and earth. "Vegetation was fairly re presented as regards quantity in the poppy, saxifrage, and small tufts of grass. I saw no actual tracks of animals, but hares had evidently visited the locality, though not recently. One or two sonw-buntlngs were flying about." Two of Ms men were almost disaMed; all were beginning to suffer from scurvy. But they were undaunted. Another entry In the journal reads; "I turned back and met sled ge. Halted for grog and biscuit. Hoisted the Union Jack, and dr ank Her Majesty's health. THE QUEEN WAS PLEASED Such high devotion did not pass unnoticed by Buckingham Palace. Queen Victoria was pleased, upon the expedition's return to England, the monarch sent Captain Nares and Ms fol lowers her "hearty congratul ations." .. "The Queen highlly appreci ates." a letter to George Ward Hunt said, "the valuable servic es which have been rendered by them In the late Arctic Ex pedition. and she fully sympath ises In the hardships and suf ferings they have endured * Equally pleased by the safe return of Markham and Aldrlch to the relative safety of the wai ting Alert was the snip's chap lain, the Rev. W.H. Pullen who composed these lines; Welcome home to the wished- < for rest. \ Traveler to the North, and tra veler to the west I Welcome beck from bristling floe, Frowning cliff, and quaking snow! Nobly, bravely, the work was done; Inch by inch was the hard fight WOO; Now the toilsome march is o'er ? Welcome home to our tranquil shore!
