46 VOYAGE OUTWARD. 



over, that part of Disko called Flat Foot Shore, which lies 

 over against Makkely Onit, has evidently suffered during 

 the same devastation. Neither would that portion of the 

 island called New and Old Lievely (Plate IV.) have survived 

 the Avreck, were it not for the strong resistance made by that 

 part which is known by the name of the Black Land. The 

 rock of Lievely, now so dangerous to navigators, 'which is 

 bare at low water spring tides, and which is nothing but 

 the remains of some part of the mountain, is a further 

 proof of the justice of the above assertion. The existence 

 of Disko Bay, Fortune Bay, Love Bay, and the other re- 

 cesses in the bosom of this remarkable rock, owe their 

 existence to the violence of the flood which, boiling at the 

 resistance opposed to it on the north side, rushed over the 

 higher lands to the southward, and there pouring onward, 

 in its rage hollowed out those several bays, and meeting with 

 the other contending currents coming through the Waygat, 

 and down the Straits, completed the work of destruction, 

 and effected the formation of South East Bay.
