The American Franklin Search Expedition - on the Salmon Creek, 1881. 'We continue from last week the publication of a series of Illustrations, furnished by the Sketches of Mr. H. W. Klutschak, a Bohemian artist, who accompanied, during nearly a twelvemonth of 1879 and 1880, the overland sledge expedition fitted out by the New York Geographical Society, and commanded by Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka, a cavalry officer of the United States Federal Army, from the northern shore of Hudson's Bay to Simpson's Strait, and thence to the north-western coast of King William's Land. This expedition was in search of any relics or documents of the fate of Sir John Franklin's party, the officers and crew of H.M.S. Erebus and Terror, lost in that region above thirty years ago...We derive some information from Mr. Klutschak's private diary, also placed by him at our disposal. The exploring party consisted of Lieutenant Schwatka, Mr. W. H. Gilder, correspondent of the New York Herald, Mr. Klutschak, and Mr. Frank Melms, of Milwaukie, volunteers; with Joe Eberling, of Croton, Connecticut, an experienced Arctic traveller, engaged as huntsman and Esquimaux interpreter'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
