| 520 | _a"Dawid se reis na Groenland" by David Binney Putnam is a nonfiction travel narrative written in the early 20th century. It follows a teenage boy’s first‑person account of a summer expedition aboard the schooner Morrissey under Captain Bob Bartlett, collecting specimens and film in Arctic Greenland while meeting Eskimo communities and navigating ice, storms, and wildlife. The tone mixes lively adventure with practical, educational detail aimed at curious young readers. The opening of this account sets the scene with Captain Bartlett’s foreword praising David’s grit and explaining the book’s purpose: to inspire boys toward outdoor challenge. David then describes refitting the Morrissey, introducing the crew, gear, and radio, and their celebratory send‑off from Long Island Sound before rough weather, seasickness, and thunderstorms on the run to Nova Scotia and through the Strait of Belle Isle, where they meet their first icebergs and pack‑ice. After shipboard lectures, films, and ice navigation drills, they reach Greenland: at Holsteinsborg they land Professor Hobbs for glacial studies, trade and film, then move on to Disko (Godhavn) and Proven to barter for kamiks, ivory carvings, and model kayaks while avoiding taking essentials. In Upernivik they watch expert kayak‑rolling (and see Robert Peary Jr. dunked), help feed sled dogs, and visit eider‑duck islands to gather down, eggs, and specimens amid traces of old whalers. Crossing Melville Bay unusually easily, they water from a glacier at Cape York, trade for a kayak, net little auks, stalk seals, and rope down sea cliffs for eggs and nests. This opening section ends as the Morrissey, searching for local hunters near Northumberland Island, strikes a hidden rock in calm conditions and the crew scrambles to respond.
