He was appointed third lieutenant in H.M.S. Discovery on the British Arctic Expedition, 1875-1876 (led by George Nares), sent by the Admiralty to attempt to reach the North Pole by way of Smith Sound and to explore the coasts of Greenland and adjacent lands. Following his transfer to H.M.S. Alert in August 1875, Rawson undertook a sledge journey with Sub-Lieutenant George Egerton in March 1876, during which they saved the life of Danish dog-driver Niels Petersen. In one of the exploits described in the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society for 1882, it was on this sledge trip that he "attacked and killed a musk ox without a gun, and armed only with a stick and knife which he fastened to the end of it; ever on the look out to procure fresh meat for the sick".Condition report: Old wear commensurate with age, generally very good. As noted, knife's top spring is missing so will not lock in the open position.
