And for one last time, as I'm scrolling down the screen here,
My eyes are getting heavy and it's time I went to bed,
I'll read a page or two of a book called "Fatal Passage"
Of how John Rae found Franklin's party dead.

Great book by Ken McGoogan: bought it up in Orkney, which is where John Rae came from: he trained as a doctor in Edinburgh then worked for thr Hudson Bay Company, before being sent out to try and locate Franklin's missing team.
