1 " When the corpses of [Sir John] Franklin's officers and crew were later discovered, miles from their ships, the men were found to have left behind their guns but to have lugged such essentials as monogrammed silver cutlery, a backgammon board, a cigar case, a clothes brush, a tin of button polish, and a copy of " The Vicar of Wakefield." These men may have been incompetent bunglers, but, by God, they were gentlemen. "
