All hands were watching now for the coast described by Dr.Bruce, and at 5 p.m.the look-out reported an appearance of land to the south-south-east.

It seemed to be an island or a peninsula with a sound on its south side, and the position of its most northerly point was about 72ｰ 34ｴ S., 16ｰ 40ｴ W. |
