Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from The North-West Passage Sir, - I have the honour to report to you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that we arrived off the Mackenzie on the 21st instant. The letters that I forwarded by Her Majesty s ship, Herald, from whom I parted company on the 30th ultimo, off Cape Lisburne, will have put you in possession of my proceedings up to that date. After parting with the Herald I stood to the N.N.W. with a fresh breeze from the N.E., with the intention of making the ice, which was accomplished on the morning of the 2nd of August, in lat. 7? 21 N., long. 166? 12 W., and at 11 A.m. stood into the loose ice for the purpose of examining the pack; the wind, however, falling before we got far in, I was induced to run out to avoid being beset, having ascertained that the pack was very close and heavy, extending from E.N.E. to W.N.W., and, seeing no hope of getting through, worked along its edge in soundings from 24 to 26 fathoms (mud); the hundreds of walrusses that were lying upon the ice, thickly huddled together like sheep in a fold, were most astonishing. We continued working along the ice, occasionally getting drifted in, until the 5th, when the weather, which had been previously thick and misty, cleared a little, and no ice being in sight, I shaped a course for Wainwright s Inlet, with the intention of getting between the pack and shore; in running exchanged numbers with Her Majesty s ship Plover, and at 11.30 A.m. observed a low beach, apparently shingle, distant about two miles. The weather again having become thick, we went entirely by our soundings, which varied from 14 to 73 fathoms; in which latter we rounded Point Barrow at 11.30 p.m., without, however, observing the land, and steered to the eastward, direct for Banks s Land, finding that the ice was sufficiently loose and practicable for sailing through.
