Explorers have already left their indelible mark on her land and its people, and a ship full of white men can mean trouble.<br /> <br /> The ship carries provisions for Robert E. Peary, who is making an expedition to the North Pole. Peary and Billy Bah have a history--as a child, she spent a year in America with his family.
