“On the morning of the 24th [of January] I started north with nine sledges. We camped the first night at “Depot B.” The next march I had counted on making Lincoln Bay, but just before reaching Wrangel Bay a sudden furious gale with blinding drift drove us into camp at the south point of the bay." - Robert E. Peary in Nearest the Pole, published in 1907
