says : ‘ I met a very interesting party a few days 
ago at breakfast at Sir Robert Inglis’s— the new 
President of the Royal Society, Lord W rottesley, 
Sir J. Herschel, Mr. Robert Brown, Captain 
Fitzroy, Mr. Charles Darwin (who went round 
the world with Captain F.), Dean Morier, Professor 
Acland of Oxford, and Dr. Rae (who discovered 
the remains of poor Sir John F ranklinj. We had of 
course all the particulars of that long and earnestly 
looked for discovery. ... Dr. Rae pointed out 
on a new map of the Arctic Regions exactly the 
spot where Franklin’s party lay ; and he assured 
us that the party to be sent out by the Hudsons 
Bay Company would arrive there next July or 
August.’
