Perhaps you could find more valuable information in the list of blogs which I´ve linked in the right column of this blog: "Visions of the North", "Erebus and Terror files", etc. Andrés Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283802897907742244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455284570156061492.post-39082574170163518142013-04-20T14:43:47.979+02:002013-04-20T14:43:47.979+02:00Jaes, if you check the narration of the encounter ...Jaes, if you check the narration of the encounter between McLure and Pim you will find the origin of the theory which says that the men with black faces mentioned by the inuit could have been men of the Franklin expedition with black faces because the burnt fat which in that time expeditions used to use to cook or to warm themselves in the sledge trips.Andrés Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283802897907742244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455284570156061492.post-52853339123712551762013-04-19T22:05:23.985+02:002013-04-19T22:05:23.985+02:00I had not previously heard of Bedford Pim, so this...I had not previously heard of Bedford Pim, so this is a great intro for me. His timing is certainly remarkable! I will have to check out your recommended reading.Jaeschylushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204972787032135611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455284570156061492.post-36633407670781099092013-04-12T08:42:21.314+02:002013-04-12T08:42:21.314+02:00Indeed, but what if he would have decided on going...Indeed, but what if he would have decided on going to search for help by himself with the strongest men leaving the weakest on board?. They would have likely died all of them the weak and the strong, but to me it would have been a hard decission sending men who hardly could walk to a certain dead, my common sense would have said or we remain here all of us waiting for a miracle or I would have gone myself south or southeast. <br /><br />I am thinking on Shackleton, though improbable, at least that measure would have prolonged a little their existence till the men who had gone on searching for help could have returned (to see the sick men left on board dead, almost certainly). Is not easy to judge, and at least I don´t know if the Royal Navy had instructions about how to proceed in this kind of situations.Andrés Paredeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283802897907742244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455284570156061492.post-55014246944249102412013-04-09T01:04:44.298+02:002013-04-09T01:04:44.298+02:00I was thinking of McClure's decision to send o...I was thinking of McClure's decision to send off some of his men to die. As harsh as it seems, I can slightly understand why he chose that course. It was just a miracle that Lieutenant Pim reached them in time, otherwise HMS Investigator would've become a second tragedy comparable to the Franklin Expedition.
