When Tristan Jones, who became one of the best-known small boat
sailors and writers of our times, was discharged from the Navy and
told he was physically unfit for more seagoing, he got hold of a
small craft, Creswell, which he converted to a cruising ketch, and
started sailing. Then, determined to sail farther north than anyone
else, Jones set out from Iceland, accompanied only by Nelson, the
one-eyed, three-legged dog he had inherited. Jones spent two
winters full of continuous suspense and danger in this bleak polar
region. He was trapped by violent snowstorms, attacked by a
ravenous polar bear, and marooned on an ice pack in the Arctic
Ocean, all the while grappling with loneliness and despair, plus
dwindling supplies. Finally, when the ice shifted, crushing
Creswell like a matchbox, Jones had to deal with possible death!
