. Round about the North pole . er progress impossible, and he had to shape hiscourse westerly, and then, owing to ice, which he invain endeavoured to get round to the north, he had toturn southwards. Amid much fog, and with the icealways present, he came down the coast of Baffin Land, giving a name here and there on the way, until on the31st of July he passed a very great gulfe, the waterwhirling and roring, as it were the meetings of tides, which was probably the entrance to Hudson Strait.Next day he was off the Labrador coast and namedCape Chidley after his friend who died in the Straits ofMagellan, and on the 15th of August he laid his coursefor England. Of this voyage Hakluyt prints the Traverse Book, one of the earliest known. In it the full detail is givenfor every day, arranged in nine columns, one each forthe month, the day, the hour, the courses, the leagues, the elevation of the pole in degrees and minutes, thewind, and a remarks column headed The Discourse —for Davis was an exact and systematic man remark-. BAFFIN BAY IN 1819 To face page 232 234 BAFFIN BAY Shackleton, he took the middle passage across MelvilleBay, coasting along by Cape York, by the cape namedafter one of his directors, Sir Dudley Digges, and thesound named after another of his directors, Sir JohnWolstenholme; along Prudhoe Land, entering the NorthWater of the whalers, reaching Cape Alexander in77° 45, his farthest north; opening up and namingSmith Sound, after Sir Thomas Smith, another of hisdirectors, and Jones Sound, after Alderman Sir FrancisJones, another of the board, and Lancaster Sound, after Sir James Lancaster of the East India Company.Thus, coasting Ellesmere Land, North Devon, BylotIsland, and Baffin Land, he continued his voyage fromthe north on his way home. A good piece of work:the discoveries so many and unexpected that peopleceased to believe in them, geographers going so far &sto erase his bay from their maps until, two hundredyears afterwards, Ross and Parry sailed over
