CONCLUSION 335 



at Grytviken. The bank was found and fixed, including the i8-ft. head, which was now 

 breaking. As already mentioned a theodolite angle from an Observation Station near 

 Godthul had been obtained during the previous survey, and this assisted in fixing the 

 bank. 



A sketch survey of New Fortuna Bay (a good, though windy harbour) was made, and 

 many soundings taken, and the existence of Penguin Bank, except as a small fringe to 

 the coast, was disproved. We then returned to Grytviken. 



CONCLUSION 



At Grytviken we met for the first time the R.R.S. 'Discovery II' and made the 

 acquaintance of her officers, who received us with great hospitality; and we met again 

 with pleasure old friends of the R.R.S. ' Discovery'. 



Homeward passages were kindly offered us in S.S. ' Harpon' of the Cia. Argentina de 

 Pesca and on May lo we left Grytviken. We had a good passage to Norway, via Monte 

 Video, and thence home. On the way we managed to obtain a great deal of information 

 from Captain Johannessen, of the sealing vessel ' Diaz ', concerning the south-west coast 

 and two new harbours, Diaz or Sealer Cove, and Rocky Bay, which he had rediscovered 

 lately. A small very rough sketch of each and some other details were made with his 

 assistance. The entrance to Diaz Cove had been fixed during the voyage in the 

 ' William Scoresby '. A great deal of information, some of which was afterwards verified, 

 was obtainable at all times from Managers, Captains and Gunners of whale-catchers, 

 to whom we are very deeply indebted for their very cordial co-operation. In some cases 

 it proved possible to pay a lasting tribute to our informants by naming coastal features 

 after them: and, when it occurred, this opportunity was gladly taken. 



On arrival in London, the drawing of the fair sheets was at once proceeded with, 

 together with sailing directions and triangulation schemes for all the work. These 

 were completed on October 17, 1930.

Plans: Prince Olaf Harbour (drawn before). 



Blue Whale Bay. 



Elsehul. 

 Charts : Fortuna Bay, including Anchorage Bay.

Two running surveys of various groups of islands and sketches of harbours. 

 Tracing of Cape Buffer to Cape Constance. 

 Thirteen triangulation sheets.
