Again leaving the ships on the 15th, we rowed before sunsetbetween six and seven miles along the high southwestern land, passing what appeared a small harbour, with an island... near themiddle of the entrance, and landed on a shingly beach near a smallbay or creek, extending three quarters of a mile to the W. N. W. , and then terminating in a deep, broad valley. We left the shore athalf past four A. M. On the 16th, and in an hour's sailing, with afresh northwest wind, came to some loose ice, through which wecontinued to make our way till eleven o'clock, when it became soclose that a passage could no longer be found in any direction. There was also so much young ice in every small interval betweenthe loose masses, that the boats were much cut about thewater-line in endeavouring to force through it.
