Farthest point reached by Digglefield
in 1852. Sounded our way into
a place of anchorage a little
west of Come Island, in a fjord
which we called "Tram Fjord".
The fjord ran due north and
south, and we anchored in a
little bay on the west side
of it, a couple of miles from
the head of the fjord.
Straight from our place of
anchorage stretched a large
valley in a westerly direction;
it was wide and smiling --
On to each side of the
fjord, the mountains rose
precipitously straight up
from the sea. We saw
vestiges of former habitation
in the shape of tent rings
and fire-trays. On Aug 28
we left the fjord
