Both Captain Mac-Calera and the mate are now dead, and it is rather doubtful whether the ship's jowled cat, be procured. It remains thrr• fore to he coitidereil what may be objected to the credih.lity of this very iiiterest lug accou at. •1 have stated, that Mr. Watt was not, at the time this voyage took place, quite seventeen year. of age ; but I have also stated, that lie obwirved himself (is well as the master and mate) from tune to time. Iv it therefore inure extraordinary he should remember with accuracy, that, twenty years ago, he had been iu uorth latitude 8 . 31 deg., alum that, at the saute distance of !Jour, be eight recollect that lie had been at a filitid's house, which was situate 83 lisilcs and a hull from Loudon ? Or rather indeed is not his me mory, with regard to this high latitude, much more to be depended upon, as floe circumstance is so much more entereatilig, especially as Mr. Watt was even then of al sciesitifi4 turn ?

If Mr. Watt's recollection, however. is distrust ed, this oliei lion extetids equally to Captain 'Slav ficquent dri•laratinms, that, the appre hensions of the mate had lint prevesittil, he might possibly have reached the Ninth l'olr ; mid Low could he have conceived lb's, unless he bad iu►a ginrd himself to bate been in a very high siorthersi latitude? But it may lie possibly said, that this voyage took ',face above twenty years illacr, and that, therefore, at such a distance tor time, no one's me. tinny can be 'Hied upon. It is true indeed, that Mac-Callum made this attempt in 1751; but Mr. Watt coati 0000 eft WI; services the Following year in a Greenland ship, and dwrefore, t o %lug ne.atly tfiX same seas, must have ►rurwed the recolleetidh of what he haul experienced in the preceding voyage, tl►obgh he did not theta proceed farther this north lad tude 80 deg. This however brings it only to 1754 ; but I have already stated, that within these twelve years he mesitioned all the particulars shore relaited to his brother officer, Lieutenant Cartwright.

Hoenig thus eadekvoured to sliew -that the in stawes of ships reachirog_high 'straiten' latitudes must necessarily be rate, 1 shall now proceed to lay before the Society such as I have been able to bear of 'nice the voyage tblvards the Nurtb Pule was undertaken during last **steer. Whets this was de:emitted &ten. snit mentioned iu the trawspopera, it boix . rise lltatterof commo tion amongst the crews of the guard ships; mill Andrew Leckie. au intelligent scanners 011 hoard the Albion (their stationed at Plymouth). informed some of the officers that he had beers as far wadi as 84i degrees. %Vireo he was naked farther on this head, he said, that lie was 011 hoard the Reading, Capt. 'l'lroiniss Robinson; in 1766, mad that, wink he was shaving the Captain. Mr. Robinson told hint, that he had probably never been so far to the storthward before, as they had 111110 reached the above-ineutioned de gree of latitude. Daring happened to hear this account of Leekie's, on my return to Losidusa this winter, I found out Capt. Itubiuson. who remembered his having hail this commotion with Leckie; but said. Out he was mistaken in supposin g :that day had reached 841 deg. north latitude, as they were only in 811 deg. Captain Robinson then explained himself that he had at this • e computed his latitude by the roil back to Ilakluyeir Headland in twenty-four hours; from winch, and other circumstances men tioned iii.my presence before two eta officers, they told me afterwards, that they had little or no doubt of the accuracy of his reckoning. Mr. Robinson likewise remembers that the sea sra. their open. an that he bath no doubt of being able to reach 83 deg. but how much farther he will soot pretend to say. This same Captain, in the ship St. George, was on the 15th of Julie. 1773, in north latitude 81 deg. 16 ruin. by a very accurate observation with an approved Hadley's quadrant, in which he also made the proper allowance fur the refraction in high northern latitudes ; at which time seeing some whales spouting to the northward he pursued them for five hours, so that he must hate reached 813 deg. when the see was open to the we s twa r d and east worth east as far as he timid distinguish from the mast-head. His longitude was theu 8 deg. east from the meridian of London. Captain Robinson is a very intelligent seaman, and loath iisviguted the Greenland Seas these twenty years, except during the interval that he was etu ployed by the Hudson's Bay Company (4). I could add some other, perhaps intereiding, patticulars, which I have received front Captain Robinson, with regard to Spitsbergen and the Polar Seas ; I will only mention, however, that he thinks he could spend a winter not uncomfortably in the must northern parts we are acquainted with (ft), as there Are three o► (Mir swell settlements of Rus sians in this country, for the sake of ilia skins of quadrupeds, which are then snore valuable than if the animal is taken in summer. The swat instance I shall sneutiou of a navigator, who Will proceeded far northward, is that of Cap taiss Cheyile, who gave asowera to certain ►lurrirs drawn up Isy Mr. Dalrymple. F.R.S. in rrlwttu►► to the Polar Sras, laud which were cuuru►uuicated last year to the Society. Captain Clfeynt states, in this paper, that he hob been as far us north latitude 82 deg.; but Burs snit specify whether by observation or his reckoning, though from many other answe►s to the isiterropto ries proposed, it should seem that he speak• of the labtusle by observation. Unfortunately Capt 4iii Cheyne is at present on the coast of Africa, su that further information on this head cannot be now pm cured from him. Whilst the ships destined for the North Pole were preparing, a most ingenious and able sea offi cer, Lieutenant John Cartwright, told me. that twelve years ago lie had been informed of u very remarkable voyage made by Captain Mac-Callain as far nearly as $4 deg. north latitude. Tins account Mr. Cartwright had received from • brother officer, Mr. James Watt, now a Master and Commander in the Royal Navy, who was on board Captain Mac-Callaor's ship. I thought it my duty to acquaint the Admiralty with tins intelligent., who would have sent for Mr. Watt, but he was then employed on the coast of America. On his return from thence, within the last month, Mr. Cartwright introduced a couversati with regard to Captain Mac-Callam's voyage. when Mr. %Van relieated all the Circumstances which he bad iiiriiiioned to him twelve years ago; *her which Mr. Cartwright, thinking that I should be glad to hear use particulars from Mr. Watt himself, was so good as to thing Inns to my chambers. when 1 received from him the following information. to the year 1 7 51.

Barrington.—Read at a bleetnix of the Royal Society, May 10, 1771. As I was the unworthy proposer of the voyage towards the North Pole, which the Council of the Royal Society recommended to the Board of Ad miralty, 1 think it my duty to lay before the So c•iety such intelligence as I have happened to pro cure with regard to navigators having reached high northern latitudes (1) ; because some of these accounts seem to promise, that we may proceed far ther towards the Pule than the very able officers, who were sent ou this destination lest year, were permitted to penetrate, notwithstanding their re peated efforts to pass beyond eighty degrees and a half. 1 shall bezi►►, however, by snaking an observa tion or two wills regard to the Greenland fishery, which will in a great measure account f►►r our not being able to procure many insta n ces Of nearer ap ;.roacl►rs to the Pole thou the northern parts of kititzbergeu.
