De Long's boat reached the eastern side of the Lena River delta, Melville's, reached the western side. Melville's party was rescued, but De Long and his men died of exposure and starvation.Melville later led an expedition that found the remains of De Long and his party the following Spring. De Long's journal, in which he made regular entries until shortly before his death, was found a year later and published as The Voyage of the Jeannette (1883). Three years after the Jeannette was sunk, wreckage from it was found on an ice floe on the southwest coast of Greenland, a discovery that gave new support to the theory of trans-Arctic drift.…
