M'Clure in the Investigator and Collinson in the Enterprise made their way to Prince of Wales Strait, where they wintered 1850-51, and explored the shores of Banks Island and M'Clure Strait as far as Mercy Bay, where the Investigator became frozen in the ice, and was later abandoned, in June of 1853. M'Clure's sledge party continued eastward over Barrow Strait to Dealy Island where they encountered a Franklin search party from Sir Edward Belcher's expedition traveling westward, and returned with them in 1854 to England, thus completing the first successful Northwest Passage.

First edition. Folding coloured map & 4 lithographed plates. 8vo. A fine copy in publisher's navy cloth, spine gilt, some very slight rubbing. xix, [1], 405, [1], 28.ads.pp. London, Longman, Brown, Green et al., A handsome copy of the first edition.   "Captain M'Clure commanded this expedition on the Investigator, with the primary mission of rescuing the missing Sir John Franklin. While M'Clure did not accomplish this task, in his efforts to return to England from the Bering Strait he completed the long-anticipated Northwest Passage, a feat for which he was knighted, and also collected the £10,000 reward offered by Parliament" (Hill).   It was hardly smooth sailing. The Investigator was originally accompanied by the Enterprise, captained by Richard Collinson, though the two ships were separated early on in the Straits of Magellan. M'Clure's party entered the Arctic via the Bering Strait, wintering at Prince of Wales Strait and made it as far east as Mercy Bay. At this point - June, 1853 - the ship was abandoned and the crew, suffering from scurvy and frostbite, were miraculously rescued by Captain Henry Kellet's expedition who were also searching for Franklin. The crew of the Investigator were away for four years and eight months.   The map shows M'Clure's crossing of the Northwest Passage and the plates, after Cresswell, depict Franklin Bay, Princess Royal Island, and Melville Island.   Abbey Travel, 647; Hill, 1122; Howgego III, M32; Lada-Mocarski, 145; Sabin, 43073.
