"No living sailor was so worthy to be the biographer of Sir Leopold
McClintock as Sir Clements Markham.... Sir Clements Markham has
written with much of the simplicity and reserve of the great explorer
himself. Never for a moment does he diverge from quiet narrative ...
it is an inspiring record of one who did his duty as he saw it, and
found the path to fame by his own fine qualities of
character."--Westminster Gazette.
