It was known to Augustus who informed us that it frequents the coast of Hudson's Bay and is delicate eating.

The course and distance made was south by east-half-east, thirty-three miles.
After paddling twelve miles in the morning of the 5th we had the mortification to find the inlet terminated by a river, the size of which we could not ascertain as the entrance was blocked by shoals.

Its mouth lies in latitude 66 degrees 30 minutes North, longitude 107 degrees 53 minutes West.

I have named this stream Back as a mark of my friendship for my associate.* We were somewhat consoled for the loss of time in exploring this inlet by the success of Junius in killing a musk-ox, the first we had seen on the coast; and afterwards by the acquisition of the flesh of a bear that was shot as we were returning up the eastern side in the evening.

The latter proved to be a female in very excellent condition; and our Canadian voyagers whose appetite for fat meat is insatiable were delighted.
