His son's fiancée, Marie, and the ship's first officer, André Vasling, who would be his son's rival for her affections, are traveling with him. Jules Verne published a brief tale of adventure called A Winter Amid The Ice in 1855. Given that this is a Jules Verne tale, Jean makes the decision to replenish the ship and set off on a quest to discover what happened to his son. Andre also has hidden agendas, one of which is to wed Marie himself.
