| | The Late Voyage of Discovery, Letter 6 |
 | | This is the inlet of the sea opening into Baffin's Bay, on the west side, called Sir James Lancaster's Sound; the nature of which has, for many years, and in particular since the return of the expedition of 1818, occasioned no small diversity of opinion, among men of geographical and nautical science. |
 | | In embarking on an expedition, for the purpose of determining the true nature of Lancaster's Sound, therefore, the anxiety which occupies every one engaged is beyond description: to conceive it, indeed, it requires to be felt. |
 | | In the forenoon of he 3d we had a view of the north coast of the sound, from Hope's monument (a remarkable conical hill, now found to be on the land, and not an island, as it had appeared on the former voyage,) westward to Cape Warrender, a bold headland advancing into the sound. |
