The 'Scotia' must have passed this point when pushing to Bruce's farthest south on March 6, 1904, and I knew from the narrative of that voyage, as well as from our own observation, that the coast trended away to the south-west.

The lead of open water continued along the barrier-edge, and we pushed forward without delay.

The cliffs in the morning were 20 ft.
high, and by noon they had increased to 110 and 115 ft.
