Polar.- Expedition in search of Sir John Franklin - Arctic Expedition In search of Sir John Franklin printed flyer, 200 x 160mm., watermark 1851, Printed on board H.M.S. Plover, on the 4th of July 1853. ⁂ "This paper is printed for distribution by the natives of Point Barrow among the Eastern Esqujimaux at Barter Island, with the hope that it may fall into the hands of any persons belonging to the Arctic Expeditions who may be on or near the coast. Should this hope be realized, the parties will learn that the 'Plover' has wintered (1852-53,) at Point Barrow, called by the natives Noo-wook, where it has been ascertained only that H.M.S. Investigator was seen passing to the eastward of Return Reef in 1850, and the Enterprize in 1851. The natives on the whole are not unfriendly, but must be dealt with cautiously to avoid surprise, and are not to be trusted when in large numbers." - Flyer.
