on a curved face of rocks the words "Advance A.D. 1853-54" were painted in letters which could be read at a distance. A pyramid of heavy stones, erected above it, was marked with the Christian symbol of the cross. It was not without a bolder sentiment than that of mere utility that I placed under this the coffins of our two poor comrades. Near this a cave was worked into the rock, and a paper, enclosed in glass, sealed in with melted lead. Mr. Cary and Bonsall with five men left 15th Sept. 20. 5 days to Cape Russell. Cairn erected here by Dr. Kane. On the 28th, after crossing a large bay, they met a low cairn about thirty miles to the north east of the first depot. Here they left a cache and built a cairn and buried the provision at a distance of ten paces from its centre.
