In the heady climate of the nineteenth century goldrushes, "going
to see the elephant" was a saying that described an exciting, often
dangerous, and usually profitless adventure-something to tell one's
grandchildren about. In the spirit of the bestselling Island of the
Lost, the story is told of the crew of the Connecticut schooner
Sarah W. Hunt. When their boats are blown out to sea, off one of
the most icy and hostile islands in the sub-Antarctic ocean, twelve
men are abandoned by their skipper, left to live or die by their
own wits and stamina. Six survive, to be carried to New
Zealand-where the inquiry and court case that follow become an
international controversy, with repercussions that reach as far as
the desk of the president of the United States.
