Hecla under Sir Edward Parry, and continued for eight years with that great Arctic officer, taking part in several expeditions to the northern seas including the famous attempt to reach the North Pole hy travelling over the ice beyond Spitsbergen in 1827. On returning from this expedition he was promoted to the rank of Com- mander, and sailed again in 1829. with his uncle Sir John Ross in Sir Felix Booth's ship Victory. On this occasion the expedition spent four years in the Arctic regions and ...was abnost given up as lost. In the course of it James Clark Ross did an immense amount of sledg- ing work, and on June i, 1S31, he reached the North magnetic pole and had the pleasure of hoisting the British flag on that interesting spot. He was promoted to the rank of Captain in 1834, and was in command of H. M. S. Cove in Baffin Bay in 1836.
Ross, who was reputed to be the handsomest man in the nav)', was an excellent officer with a rigid sense of duty. There is a curious note by one of the members of the expedition which proves the firmness of the com- mander's character and may be viewed as a compli- ment, though intended as a censure.
