The disappearance of Sir John Franklin's Arctic expedition of 1845 led to many rescue attempts by the British government. The admiral Sherard Osborn took a prominent part in one of them, in the new search expedition, the Royal Navy Expedition of 1850-51. He was at the command of the HMS Pioneer in the Arctic expedition lead by Horatio Thomas Austin. He performed a remarkable sledge-journey to the western extremity of Prince of Cales Island. "Stray Leaves from an Arctic Journal" is his account of this trip.
