520 | _aThrough the eyes of the ship's scholar-naturalist, Erasmus Darwin Wells, we encounter the Narwhal 's crew, its commander, and the far-north culture of the Esquimaux. In counterpoint, we meet the women left behind in Philadelphia, explorers only in imagination. Together, those who travel and those who stay weave a web of myth and mystery, finally discovering what they had not sought, the secrets of their own hearts. 16 | ||
