#Mod Erebus check this out!

Fitzjames is living it up in the Mediterranean but Uncle Robert reminds him that they are not rich and Fitzjames needs to be more economical. Robert Coningham wasn't poor but he certainly couldn't live large.

#John Irving #the Terror

The Arctic Medal and clasp posthumously awarded to Lieutenant John Irving of the Franklin expedition, from the 2014 auction listing of Irving memorabilia. The lot included a copy of Benjamin Bell's Memorial Sketch of Lieut. John Irving, R.N. (Edinburgh, 1881) with an inscription "To John Irving Scott Moncrieff in memory of his grand uncle Lieut. John Irving R.N. 25th April 1893."

‘Whatever happens it is the will of God. I hope you do not think me so weak as to labour under any presentiment of evil; but remember this is no common voyage … Two years is a long time without any tidings, and perhaps we may be three years at least. Do not give up on us if you hear nothing.’

John Irving to his sister-in-law Kate, Woolwich, 18 April 1845

Tributes to Harry Goodsir: 1)A lady under the pen-name of Penelope reminisces about Harry Goodsir 45 years after he left on his fateful expedition in the Derby Daily Telegraph, 3 October 1892. "Harry Goodsir sometimes comes back in my dreams as the young fellow I knew forty-five years ago."

2)A quarter of a century after receiving one of Harry's final scientific papers from the expedition, William Jerdan posted a letter regarding his dear friend Harry in the Leisure Hour, "who stood so high in the estimation of all who knew him."

3)In the 1880s John Anderson remembers his last meeting with Harry...what they had for dinner in St Andrews and walking 4 miles with Harry on his return route and then parting, "to meet no more on earth." Then penned the poem The Explorer's Grave for his book 'Sprigs of Heather'.

4)And of course there is that ethereal sketch Edward Forbes made of Harry the night before he went off on his adventure...
