Captain Nlae-Callum, however (alio was it very
able and scietsulic walnut)), II gist that ri voyage
to the North Pule would be inure niterestiug ; and
that, the season toeing 14 filme lour, he had st chance
of penetrating far to the toorilswond, an well as ow-
turning before the later tislorry took plaem He
accordingly proceeded without the least mint, uct ooh
to 831 deg. when tlw tea was not only open to the
northward, but. ,they hail not to a speck or ice
for the last liorroor degrees, and the weather at Ilse

tritetd be scarcely observed, that Out latittide
of s't deg. was desertion'', ol by observation, ns the
great object of the voyage was to rcaele the Yule;
the Captain, therefore, the Mate, and young Mr.
Wan, determined the latitude from; lirew, tooth by
IJaoi• and Hailley's quadrants: I
may add,
that their departure and return wire from and to
Haklityt's Headland.
11/lien they were advancing into these high north-
ern latitudro, the mate complained that the com-
pass saw roil steady. on which Cooptein Mar-Cal-
huts desisted from his attempt, though with reluct-
ance; knowitog tout if any accident happened. he
should be blamed by Jas owners, olio would be
reminded certainly by the mate of the protests he
had inside against the ship's proceeding farther
northward.
Severnl of the crew, however, were for prosecut-
ing their discoveries, and Mr. %Vali suerucularli re,
members the chagrin winch was expteiwil by a very
intelligent seaman, whose hassle was John Kelly ;
Captain Mac-Callao), also, after his return 1.10111 that
voyage, hails frequently said, in the presence of Mr.
Wait and others, that, if the unite had hoot beets
land-hearted, the ship ponibly might have reached
the Pole.

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 ?

To this I may add, that it bein; his first voyage,
nod rib-remarkable a one, Mr. Watt limy declares
that he leineu►l►rrs inure particulars 'relative to it.
than perhaps in any other since that : other
tieu-officers have likewise RIM ins, that the circum-
stance* of their lira► voyages me must fresh in their
use ))))) ry, the reasou fur which is too obvious to be
dwelt upon.
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.
Mr. Watt also frequently conversed with Capt.
Mac-Cullom about this voyage alter both of them
had quitted the Greenland ships; Mr. Watt ris-
ing regularly to be a Master and Commander in his
Majesty's ►aryl: e, anal Captain Mac-Callan be-
co oo ing Purser uf the Timed mail of war.
It MI hapiwised, that in the year of the expedi-
(ldiots against Bellisle. Mr. Watt, Captain Mac.
Callan►. and Mr. Walker (e. ly, entree, Com-
modore Welker, f lns having eosin 000000 ded the

circumstances of this Greenland voyage, which Mr.
Walker was interested in, by having been the prin-

Mr. Watt and Carfaturfi Mac-Cidlam met also
elefien years ago in London, when they, as usual,
conversed about the haiing reached so high a north-

stated in this paper.
What credit, however, is tc he given to all these

have stated them most fully. with every ittreutii-

them; and, if l have entlejfedireol to coirobinat

It should seem. 'spots the whole of the iiiquiriei
on this point, that it is very uncertatti whet, ships

and that it depesids, not wily tot the seasou, but
other accidents, when the Polar Seas inai„be toe
free from itte as to fierin t attempts to make dis-
coveries (9).
Passably, therefore, if a king's officer was sent
from year to year on board vise of the (hernias's'
ships. the lucky opportunity might be seised, awl
the Navy Board might pay fur the use of the vessel,
if it beds taken from the whotle..(lshery, in order to
