New Plan To Reach The Pole Expedition
Captain Bernier of Quebec organizes a polar voyage starting March 1 aboard the steamer Windward. The party of seven to eight includes a geologist and a surgeon, traveling six miles daily to reach the pole in 120 days. Dogs and reindeer will pull the ship’s sledge, with provisions for two and a half years. Only Canadians or British subjects may apply, and the cost is expected under 1000. Government funding is anticipated as a fully Canadian enterprise.
