The Franklin Search Expedition: Lieutenant Schwatka Showing the esquimaux the "Illustrated London News", 1881. 'We have been favoured with permission to make use of the interesting Sketches and Journal prepared by Mr. Henry W. Klutschak...who was a member of the Arctic exploring party under command of Lieutenant Schwatka, of the United States Army, during the overland expedition to the shores of King William's Land, by which some interesting relics of Sir John Franklin and his comrades were lately discovered and brought to New York...Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka, who is a cavalry officer in the Federal army...decided to pass the winter with the natives...to assimilate his habits and mode of living as far as possible to theirs, and to persuade them to accompany his party in the spring in whatever direction he should decide to travel. The front-page Engraving...represents an interview at Cape Daly with some of the Esquimaux Indians, whom Lieutenant Schwatka amused by showing them a few copies of an illustrated newspaper...These people have emigrated from the shores of Repulse Bay, within the last seven or eight years, to gain an easier livelihood, and to profit by the yearly visits of the American whaling-vessels'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
