"The history of the whaling industry records no feat quite like that which is commemorated in the tablet erected in the Seamen's Bethel of New Bedford (Mass.) in honor of Captain George Fred Tilton. With no companions except native guides, of necessity inadequately equipped for such an undertaking, under no compulsion to go, but going as a volunteer, Tilton set out from Point Barrow late in the Winter of 1897, and fought his way clear across Alaska to civilization to get help for the marooned whalemen of the Arctic fleet." 47 pages. total.
