Siberian coast east of the peninsula of Taimyr; while it is
equally improbable that they reached the most northern
parts of this peninsula. Moreover, in the latter case, if
Andrée and his companions still had their rifles and
ammunition, they should have been able to preserve their
lives until they reached some native camp, for northern
Taimyr abounds in game. If, on the other hand, the
expedition has perished somewhere on the northern coast
of Siberia, it is certainly of advantage that we should have
been able to put ourselves in contact with natives over
an immense extent of this country and by promises of
reward to stimulate them to be on the look-out for any kind
of trace of our unfortunate fellow-countrymen.
And, though our expedition resulted, in one sense, in
failure, we have at least tried to do our best to fulfil what
was considered to be a national duty.
