Excerpt from Contributions to the Ornithology of Siberia
When we reached the ship we found the crew well and hearty. They had been amply provided with lime-juice and dried vegetables and no symptoms of scurvy presented them selves. On the other hand, we afterwards learned that the crew of a Russian schooner, which had wintered four degrees further north without having been supplied with these well known preventives, had suffered so severely from scurvy that only the mate survived the winter.
