The sun was fast dipping behind North Devon, and a beautiful moon (the first we had found any use for since 4* 82 AROnO JOURNAL. passing Gape Farewell on the 28th of May) was cheerfall j accepted as a substitute, when the report of a boat being seen from the mast-head startled us and exdted general anxiety. We were then off Gascoigne Inlet, the ^ Resolute** in tow. The boat proved to be the ^* Sophia's," and in her Captain Stewart and Dr. Sutherland; they went on board the '* Resolute," and, sh...ortly afterwards, the interesting intelligence they then communicated was made known to me. It was this, — the "Assistance" and "Intrepid," after they left us, had visited Wolstenholme Sound, and discov- ered the" winter quarters of H. M. S. " North Star," but nothing to lead them to place any iaith in Adam Beck's tale : from thence they had examined the north shore of Lancaster Sound as far as Cape Riley, without discovering any thing ; on landing there, however, numerous traces of English seamen having visited the spot were discovered in sundry pieces of rag, rope, broken bottles, and a long-han- dled instrument intended to rake up things from the bottom of the sea ; marks of a tent-place were likewise visible.
