DAVIS INLET. 741 



Directions — Cape Harrigan to Davis inlet.— From cape Har- 

 rigan a course of 261°, followed for 8f miles, leads to the southern 

 end of Kutallik, to clear the shoal of which see page 739. AVlien 

 within ^ mile of Mountaineer rock, steer to pass northward at a dis- 

 tance of 400 yards from it. Then steer for Entry island, and pass 

 it at the distance of 400 yards on either side. When near Red Island 

 rock, bring the northern fall of Kutallik open northward of the sum- 

 mit of Entry island, bearing 98°, which mark leads between Red 

 Island rock and Ukasiksalik, and when Red island bears 180°, pro- 

 ceed up the inlet, keeping nearer Ukasiksalik than the mainland to 

 avoid the reported bank. 



After passing Bar rock, there is good anchorage off the Post. 



The least water found by the Labrador on this track was 5f 

 fathoms. 



From the northeastward pass southeastward 400 yards from 

 Nunaksuk, and steer for Entry island, passing between the rock, 

 awash at high water, and an island 100 feet high, situated east-north- 

 eastward, distant -J mile from the eastern end of Ukasiksalik. A 

 sharp dark rock, 20 feet high, lies a short distance eastward from the 

 island 100 feet high, and 50 yards farther in the same direction is 

 a small rock awash. Pass between Entrj^ and Flat islands, and pro- 

 ceed as above directed. 



From the western entrance of Windy tickle a course of 292°, 

 followed for 10^ miles, crosses the mouths of Jack Lane and Jem 

 Lane bays and leads to Entry island; in passing southward of 

 Kutallik, and the shoal extending from it, observe the clearing mark 

 at page 739 ; Mountaineer rock is passed 400 yards on its northern 

 side, after which proceed into the inlet as above directed. 



Davis inlet to Zoar. — To proceed northward, round the small 

 island lying southwestward of Solomon island, and keep about 400 

 yards off the coast of Ukasiksalik till its northeastern end is reached, 

 whence there are two tracks. The southern is convenient as being 

 free from field ice at an earW period of the season, and the fog rarely 

 fetches in, but the northeastern is more direct and is on the seaboard. 



Keep along the northern coast of Ukasiksalik, which has deep 

 bays with cliff}^ sugarloaf hills forming the points, and then pass 

 southward of some smooth-sloped, greenish islands, the southern 

 point of Avhich is foul for a short distance off. Merrifield mountain, 

 a square hill, about 1,700 feet high, lies some 5 miles inland from 

 these islands. From the foul point a course of 295°, followed for 5 

 miles, leads between a dark, cliffy island on the southwestern side, 

 with rugged points, ending in islets, and some low islands on the 

 northeastern side, through the channels between which the outer 

 islands can be seen. Then pass southwestward of an island about 

 200 feet high, and a low, black islet lying northwestward of it ; some 

 sunken rocks lie northwestward of this islet.
