The floe remained grounded during the night between the heavy bergs, which by their pressure had disrupted the ice sur- rounding the Polaris ; but the vessel was driven by the force of the wind in a north-easterly direction ; and on the morning of October 16 they found their position to be "a little north of Lit- tleton Island, in Smith Sound — having been exactly abreast of Sutherland Island during a portion of the night.
