The people of Stromness were far less keen to sign up than the navy had anticipated, and only four men were recruited, and even they agreed to go only as far as Fort Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca.
Folket i Stromness var inte så intresserade som marinen hade räknat med och endast fyra personer rekryterades och de gick med på att gå så långt som till Fort Chipewyan vid Athabascasjön.
