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. Bar 14 m 29.19
