Reincarnated:  Great info. about one interesting Lady.
  I will have to look in my storage for an old volume, I have had since my teens, called "A Thousand Days in the Arctic".
  It is about a British Expedition (Farnsworth), that in the 1890s spent three years living on Franz Joseph Island, north of Spitzbergen and above the Arctic Circle.  The men were armed mainly with .303 Lee-Metfords.  As I recall, half the book was about hunting and being hunted by Polar Bears, with many close calls.  Every bear they killed was autopsied in detail.
