his way down Prince Regents Inlet, and thence
through Bollnts Strait, into the field of search
or to attack il directly, if he deems the state
of the ice to justify the step, by going down
Peel Sound which he has good reason 10 be-

These three are the chief points in the resume
of the conditions and objects of this new expe-
