Ada

In 1921, Ada Blackjack joins an expedition to the rugged Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean. The young Inuk is not an explorer, but a desperate mother hoping to use the reward to save her sick son. What should have been a glorious undertaking to claim the island for the British Crown soon degenerates into a bitter battle against the elements. When the promised supply ship fails to arrive and the expedition members threaten to succumb one by one, Ada finds solace only in her cat, and her only fuel is the indomitable will to see her son again.

he never enters the horror story he wouldn’t dignify a horror story with his participation so he stays in the adventure story til the very end

With the new IDs combined with previous information, is anyone else starting to see evidence of a significant shakeup of the naval hierarchy in the Franklin Expedition's final year? Officers' silverware redistributed to the men, a captain of the foretop wearing a steward's uniform, Fitzjames' *jaw* filed away at with a knife, certainly eaten or at least his face stripped from its skull...

Also the bigger picture: that almost everyone they’ve identified has been from Erebus. Peglar is the FIRST positively ID’d Terror sailor. Dead facedown and alone, 130 km away from anything else, dressed in someone else's clothes and bearing a missive that says (amongst other things) "you are Peglar". Is it a reminder for a man losing his grip on himself? Or in fact a message from a captain to another camp, since that's found in the “Terror camp clear” roundel? Was he literally disguised? Did they all stop recognizing each other? Did it become unsafe to rank higher than a steward?

There are other notes in the papers in which Peglar seems to be writing about people around him in the present tense, but that's been a source of confusion, as he writes about thinking someone *might* be an officer, another has the "baring [sic] of a marine". With only 129 people to choose from and everyone uniformed, he should have known the rank of everyone around him.

It's set me off down so many different new paths. They'd lost 9 officers and 15 men by the final victory point note in April 1848. Even if they'd been rescued at this point, it would've still been the deadliest polar expedition in history. 9 officers. That's like 35% of your total authorities. How could they have possibly maintained naval hierarchy under those conditions?
