Sunday, April 30.
40th day
Near Gordon Head.
Four hours today at 5 miles an hour.
We are now fairly
on the southern coast
and have finished our work, connecting with the
Franklin Search Expeditions
of sixty three years ago.
Discovered a large
island about ten miles
east of here.
We came up across country in order to gain
the summit of a hill
tomorrow to map in coast-
to the west. We then head for Elkh and Cove.
We should make Cape South West in three marches and Elkh in twenty-four at the most.
Salida and Edmund Islands seem very near in the south.
