THE DISCOVERY

Extract of adietter, dated. North Shields, (Maher 25.7.60 Use.
tog had an interview with Captain Wannait, of the Ui i h
Queen, whaler,
_of this port,. I am entitled to add ,tit te...t
to that of Mr. FLIDIECq,•iii believing, that if the •v • i
under Captain PARILY are well, they must have effected a pas-
sage through What is termed the Hyperborean Ocean, t ae
Pacific, and through Sir James Lancaster's Sound, lialho's Bar.
"in 14. 74i N. long. 841 W. or thereabouts. Mr. WAllwAll h
reason to believe Raft's Bay is inqyafectly knows). .
Captain Ross's account is much too brief, he not LlAtiti
time to explore it. After the British Queen hail fount'. Is r war
through the ice in Davis Straits, and fasted Disco iat.
701. N. long. 49. W. she went on to Woman's Llea, 731 N. and
nearly the same longitude, .found a clear sea; act° s J1:-
fin's Bay for L.ncaster Sound, and doubts the ea.sa.:.ce of
James's Island, at least, lie thinks it must be of 1ac:4.44,4.1de
size to that which is generally laid down on the snaps--
He found Lancaster Sound, and sailed up it 20 miles, toktuage •
strong swell and wind from the N. W. l'he Sound e..busit oil
miles broad, widening to the West: bold Ingo ,Luits. Net
meeting with, whales, and his voyage being to catch fids, be se-
turned and went to the southward, where be was mule st.ece.io
fuL bh Sunday morning, the 6th of August, gibing utal...-.Asy
sail, about 60 miles to the south of Lancaster Sou.id, he saw a
considerable inlet, and a ship higher up in it; turnitg airinlet. be was struck with sounds Iran the shore, wii.cst
to be inhabitants making strange gesttu es and tete....a. His
and part of the crew landed, and by courteous sig,a ov..caate
their timidity, agd was . conducted by a male, wuo had lost
both feet, probably by the frost, and a female, who aepeareid
to be about eighteen-years of age, to their huts, instle of the
skins of seal and deer. It was found that nest of sue popu-
lation were absent on the hills hunting; only a Lei tit:tie, and
`some women, but a• great number of ch..d.e.), being lefir—
' They seemed docile and hospitable, exchanging their skin jackets
for those of the sailors, and snipping naked without the least
hesitation to put on the new &eat. They seemed to pay some
adoration to the Sun. The ship's company Pere caught some
fish, and found reason to believe that the inlet sonununicared
with Lancaster Sound., Captain W.e.nnam found the vartatico
of the compass to be W. of the true N. about 110 degrees, and
thinks the magnetic pole is somewhere there, as the our it pro-
digious. 'The ships then stretched N. E. for Sit Taunus
Smitles.Sound, in lit. 78k. Jong. 64.• leaving Alderman Jones's
• Sound on the larboard side : lie made Hacklut's
long. 60. and
_completed Lis fishing near Cape Dudley Diggts.
, Corning down Davis' Straits, and even to Cape. Fatewe.i, he
fell in with ice, and many icebergs, having, in snow-shower-ism
thread his way through tlaetu; and finally passed the Later Caps
on the 3d of September. • Captain WAZHAII i cautious of speak-
ing of anything but what he saw, is a good mathematician and
astronomer, and quite fitted for active and intelligent *Mena-
tion. I wish I could give mo; e succinct information on the sub.
' ject of the Expedition, but it is dangerous raising bopestluamay
not be verified." • .. .
