Panel 1: Walton (a 28 year old man) smiles to the horizon as he arrives to St. Petersburg on a ship. In fragments of a letter it says: "To Mrs Saville, England
"St. Petersburg, Dec. 11th, 17—
"You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings. I arrived here yesterday, and my first task is to assure my dear sister of my welfare and increasing confidence in the success of my undertaking."

Panel 2: Walton and another sailor are unloading the ship.

Panel 3: The Captain (a man in his forties) shakes Walton's hand and tells him: "I'll miss your work, Walton. It won't be easy to find a man as committed as yourself."
Walton responds "Oh, Captain! It was a pleasure to work for you. And I would do so for years to come, but I'm afraid it's time for me to continue my way north."

Panel 4: The Captain scratches his head in confusion. "What else is there north of Saint Petersburg?"

Panel 5: Walton answers him with excitement "That's precisely what I plan to discover."

Panel 6: The two men walk along the English Embankment, a road in St. Petersburg along the left bank of the Great Neva River. Walton continues "Ever since I was a child, I've dreamt of exploring the world, and discovering a new continent."
"What? Do you think that there are any of them still undiscovered?" the Captain asks.
"My heart is telling me so!"
