" They finally reached the ship on the 21st of August, after sixty-one days' absence.
" The distance traversed during this excursion was 569 geographical miles ; but allowing for the times we had to return for our baggage during the greater part of the journey over the ice, we estimated our actual travelling at 978 geographical, or 1127 statute miles. Considering our constant exposure to wet, cold, and fatigue, our stockings having generally been drenched in snow-water for twelve hours out of e...very twenty-four, I had great reason to be thankful for the excellent health in which, upon the whole, we reached the ship. There is little doubt that we had all become in a certain degree gradually weaker for some time past ; but only three men of our party now required medical care two of them with badly swelled legs and general debility, and the other from a bruise, but even these three returned to their duty in a short time. " In a letter from Sir W. E. Parry to Sir John Barrow, dated November 25, 1845, he thus suggests some improve- ments on his old plan of proceedings : " It is evident (he says) that the causes of failure in our former attempt, in the year 1827, were principally two : first, and chiefly, the broken, rugged, and soft state of the ice over which we travelled ; and secondly, the drifting of the whole body of ice in a southerly direction.
