from
Wikipedia
When June arrived, and the ice had still not loosened its grip on the ship, the scurvy-ridden survivors took two small boats out into the sea on 13 June.
It took seven more weeks for the boats to reach the Kola Peninsula where they were rescued by a Russian merchant vessel, and by that time only 12 crewmen remained.
Sources differ on whether two men died on the ice floe and three in the boats, or three on the ice floe and two in the boats.
