refer to the previous explorations, of James Richardson and the Comte de Sainville. Harrison's exploration was cut short when a family member became ill, and he left Canada in 1907. In 1909, he argued for a polar sledge expedition, taking the Jeannette Expedition of an earlier generation as illustration of the limitations of ship navigation in the Arctic. Works In Search of a Polar Continent, 1905–1907 (1908) Harrison spent 18 months living with the Inuit during this trip, and his book contains information about their customs. It also contains his survey of the Mackenzie delta, with inset maps of Baillie Island and Herschel Island. One review noted Harrison's thwarted plan to get to Banks Island on a whaler, travel west on sea ice, and explore new ground. Family Harrison married in 1890 Josephine Waterton, daughter of Edmund Waterton and his wife Josephine Rock. After his death, she married in 1934 Charles Adrian Joseph Langdale.
