"Adrift in the Ice-Fields" by Capt. Charles W. Hall is a fictional adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds as a group of English sportsmen embark on a hunting expedition in the dangerous and unforgiving ice-fields of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, highlighting their exploits, mishaps, and camaraderie. The narrative weaves together the excitement of hunting sea-fowl, the challenges posed by the harsh environment, and moments of folklore, all while painting a vivid picture of life in the maritime provinces during winter. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the backdrop of St. Pierre Island, a remote setting where winter sportsmen gather in anticipation of spring hunting. The opening chapter presents the characters, including seasoned hunters and their sturdy host, Captain Lund, revealing their preparations for a season of adventure amidst the ice. As the party settles in for their expedition, they share anecdotes and experiences over dinner, further establishing the bonds among them. Captain Lund forebodes superstitions about dangers concerning the ice, hinting at impending challenges that lie ahead, setting a tone of suspense and adventure for the remainder of their journey.
