In concluding the account of this voy¬ 
age, it would be unpardonable in me to 
neglect mentioning the kindness and at¬ 
tention with which I was always treated 
by Captain Scoresby, and his son the 
mate. Captain Scoresby is well known 
to the world at large, for his vigorous, 
enterprizing character, as well as for 
consummate skill in nautical matters. 
As Captain of the ship, his conduct was 
most exemplary. He was attentive to 
all the duties of religion, and preserved 
a proper decorum, and strict discipline, 
without harshness, among the crew*
