The steam launch had been forced higher up on the beach and somewhat damaged by, the ice. Prince Regent’s Inlet was unusually free from ice, but very ltttle was seen du‘ing our run down to BreLtford Bay, which we reached on the 20th of August. Bellot Strait, which com~ municates with the wests- rn sea, averages one mile in Width, by 17 or 18 miles in length.

No rumor of the lost eipetlitinn has reach- them. Within Fund’s Inlet the. natives told us the ice decays away every year, but so long as any remains whales abound. Sever- al large w 3185 were seen by us, and we found among the natives a COIlSitle rable quan- tity of whalebone and many narwhals’ home, which they were anxious to barter for knives, files, saws, rifles, and W001; they drew us some rude charts‘of the inlet, showing that it eXpands into an extensive channel looking westward into Prince Regent’s Inlet. It was not until the 27th of July that we reached Pen-J’s Inlet, owing: to a most un- usuai prevalence of ice in the northern por- tion of Brain’s Bay, and whivi‘l reruh’nuj saur progress aince leaving Hoktcinhorg mm m5 3:":â€" creasing struggle.
