So 
A VOYAGE TO 
1776. 
.December. 
in honour of her Majefty, I gave the name of Point Char¬ 
lotte , and it is the South ernmoft on the low coaft. 
Six leagues from Gape Digby, in the direction of South 
South Weft £ Weft, is a pretty high projecting point, which 
was called Prince of Wales's Foreland ; and fix leagues be¬ 
yond that, in the fame direction, and in the latitude of 49 0 
54 South, and the longitude of 70° if Eaft, is the moft 
Southerly point of the whole coaft, which I diftinguifhed by 
the name of Cape George , in honour of his Majefty. 
Between Point Charlotte and Prince of Wales’s Foreland, 
where the country to the South Weft began again to be 
hilly, is a deep inlet, which was called Royal Sound. It

guiili. As we advanced to the South, we obferved, on the 
South Weft fide of Prince of Wales’s Foreland, another 
inlet into Royal Sound; and it then appeared, that the 
Foreland was the Eaft point of a large illand lying in the 
mouth of it. There are feveral fmall iflands in this inlet; 
and one about a league to the Southward of Prince of Wales’s 
Foreland. 
All the land on the South Weft ftde of Royal Sound, quite 
to Cape George, is compofed of elevated hills, that rife di- 
reCtly from the fea, one behind another, to a conftderable 
height. Moft of the fummits were capt with fnow, and 
they appeared as naked and barren as any we had feen. 
The fmalleft veftige of a tree or Ihrub was not difcoverable, 
either inland or on the coaft; and, I think, I may venture 
to pronounce that the country produces none. The low
