Narrows Escape by Horatio Nelson and Bear Encounter Tale
Unclear reminiscences describe a teen Horatio Nelson aboard the Cass as a polar bear attacked. Nelson supposedly beat the bear with the rifle butt when ammo failed, aided by sailors. The note links such danger to Britain’s Trafalgar hero and includes another polar bear anecdote from Felix Riesenberg.
