Brown, Cassie with Harold Horwood, - Death on the Ice: the Great Newfoundland Sealing Disaster of 1914.

Canada, Anchor Canada, (1972). 1st prntg. VG PB. Each year for generations, poor ill-clad Newfoundland fisherman sailed out to the ice to hunt seals in the hope of a. pennies in wages from the prosperous merchants of St. John's. The year 1914 witnesses the worst in the long line of tragedies that were part of their harsh way of life. For two long days and nights a party of seal hunters 132 men-were left stranded on an icefield floating in the North Atlantic in winter. They were lightly dressed, with almost no food, and with no hope of shelter against the snow or the constant bitter winds. To survive they had to keep moving, always moving. Those who lay now to rest died.
