Excerpt from Three Voyages for the Discovery of a North-West Passage From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and Narrative of an Attempt to Reach the North Pole, Vol. 2 The wind which had been light from the south ward during the night, shifted to the north-west early in the morning, which induced me to give up the intention I had formed of further examining the inlet, and we therefore continued our course along shore to the southward. At seven A.u. We passed another inlet, similar to that of the preceding day, though much smaller, the land being of the same steep and precipitous character, and the water, apparently, deep near it.
