resting place attained in the following year by the
Enterprise four days only after it had been vacated by
Mcclure. Failing, his predecessor had done to ac-
compish the northwest passage through Investigator
Strait Capt Conson ultimately found his first winter
harbor in 1872 in Walker Bay, the south side of
Prince Albert Land, lGrnne Land and he is known to
have pursued the following eastery course

Strait, which would be eecng the northwest passage
