	William Baffin - LoveToKnow 1911
		Nothing is known of his early life, but it is conjectured that he was born in London of humble origin, and gradually raised himself by his diligence and perseverance.
		In 1615 he entered the service of the Company for the discovery of the North-West Passage, and accompanied Captain Robert Bylot as pilot of the little ship "Discovery," and now carefully examined Hudson Strait.
		The accuracy of Baffin's tidal and astronomical observations of this voyage was confirmed in a remarkable manner by Sir Edward Parry, when passing over the same ground, two centuries later (1821).

		Possibly to lessen his dependence on the troublesome old man, he shipped, although with no higher rank than that of seaman, Robert Bylot, a first-class navigator, and, as he was to prove, a man of stolid but invincible courage.
		As long as Bylot remained loyal Hudson was safe from direct mutiny, for as Juet was deemed incapable of carrying the ship home, those two alone could pilot the others out of the wilderness.
		Foremost among these was Robert Bylot whose plea that he had had no share in the mutiny would have been given less weight in a criminal court than the palpable fact that he had been assigned high rank by the mutineers as soon as their crime was accomplished.

		"The Master [Robert Bylot] was confident in this and other places, that the floud came from the West, which Baffin sayth, by the floting of the ice, hee observed on Land, to be contrary: only the Islands cause by their divers points, differing Sects and Eddie.

	William Baffin
		They found seventeen foreign ships, Dutchmen, Dunkirkers, and Biscayans, already on the Spitzbergen coast; these all submitted to the English claim without resistance; most of them were ordered away, a few only being allowed to fish on payment of half their take to the English ships, which returned safely in September with full cargoes.
		The narrative of this voyage, written by Baffin, has been preserved in Purchas; another account, by Robert Fotherby, one of the party, is printed from the original manuscript in ‘Transactions and Collections of the American Antiquarian Society’ (1860), iv, 285.
		The two, leaving their ship, provisioned two boats and persistently pushed along the north coast to the eastward, as far as Hinlopen Strait; but the year was very unfavourable, the ice coming close down to the coast during the greater part of the season.

		BYLOT, or BYLOR, Robert, British navigator, lived in the 17th century.

	Henry Hudson's Last Journal - a short story by Ian Chadwick
		Robert Bylot is a competent pilot, but I feel the others with him lack the skills to sail the Furious Overfall unscathed.
		In these calm waters Robert Juet may have given them the backbone to stand against me like cocks in a barnyard, but he cannot give them the talents to man my ship on troubled seas.
		For some imagined slight, I became so angry with Bylot that I demoted him and replaced him with John King, an unlearned and coarse man. This, I fear, cost me the last of the pilot's loyalty, for he sided with the mutineers later.

		Sir John Ross, with his controversial 1818 voyage to Baffin Bay and Lancaster Sound, initiated modern exploration of the Candian Arctic.
		In addition, he reaffirmed the findings made by William Baffin and Robert Bylot in their 1616 voyage, which after two centuries had remained largely forgotten.
		Ross's 1829-33 expedition was the first to employ steam power in polar exploration, even thought the 'Victory's' engine proved unreliable and was abandoned in Prince Regent inlet before the end of the first winter.
