The Boy Emperor and an Arctic River Quest
The North China Herald profiles the boy emperor at age eleven kept for age claims, his daily rites with tutors and ministers, and two hours of sport and bow practice each day. Lieutenant Storey reports on a 4,000 dollar gift to Alaska natives and his sea voyage for a possible new river source. Accompanied by a attendant and an interpreter, he traced a southeast route from Latham Inlet and believed he found a vast river that may feed Arctic timber trade, reportedly 20 miles wide and extending 7,700 miles inland. The tale blends imperial life with exploration notes from the Corwin voyage.
