RESEARCHES CONTINUED. 1<)& 
other loose stones, the whole of which were car¬ 
ried in a small pocket handkerchief, and scarcely 
exceeded a handful. On being reproved for ne¬ 
glecting to bring me specimens of the rocks, he 
excused himself, by stating, that he thought them 
useless, as they were exactly the same (in his 
opinion) as those I had collected on Jameson’s 
Land. 
To compensate for the deficiencies of this ex¬ 
cursion, I was preparing to undertake the exami¬ 
nation of the rocks myself, when a gale of wind, 
at south-east, suddenly commenced, and blew with 
considerable violence, for an hour or two, directly 
into the bay: it then began to subside, but, by 
this time we had got too far from the southern 
shore to render a landing convenient. The even¬ 
ing was again fine and moderate. The wind veer¬ 
ing to the south-west, we were enabled to lead out 
of the inlet. At 8 p. M. we were in a line be¬ 
tween Cape Brewster and Cape Tobin, where we 
hove to until the Fame, which was in company, 
sounded; the depth of water was 310 fathoms. 
My researches in this interesting inlet being 
now brought to a close, I shall, before taking leave 
^f it, give, in a separate chapter, the result of such 
observations as my limited stay and opportunities 
permitted me to make.
