We had continually drifted, since the beginning of February, first to the north-west and then to the north, with few modifications; at that date, we had reached our greatest East Longitude, and winds appeared as before to be the main cause of this drifting.

The subjoined table shows our change of place in the following months. +------------------+-----------+------------+ | Time. | Latitude. | Longitude. | | | ° ′ | ° ′ | +------------------+-----------+------------+ | March 3 1873 | 79 13 | 69 32 | | ” 9 ” | 79 19 | 68 28 | | ” 14 ” | 79 20 | 68 28 | | ” 20 ” | 79 33 | 68 52 | | ” 25 ” | 79 23 | 67 17 | | ” 27 ” | 79 15 | 67 29 | | ” 29 ” | 79 14 | 67 35 | | April 2 ” | 79 5 | 66 49 | | ” 3 ” | 79 5 | 66 42 | | ” 7 ” | 79 4 | — | | ” 10 ” | 79 12 | 68 1 | | ” 12 ” | 79 19 | 67 43 | | ” 13 ” | 79 20 | 67 40 | | ” 15 ” | 79 14 | 67 0 | | ” 19 ” | 79 18 | 65 51 | | ” 20 ” | 79 19 | 65 37 | | ” 27 ” | 79 13·5 | 64 37·0 | | ” 28 ” | 79 12·2 | 64 41·8 | | May 1 ” | 79 15·8 | 64 58·8 | | ” 2 ” | 79 17·1 | 65 3·9 | | ” 6 ” | 79 16·0 | 65 0·5 | | ” 10 ” | 79 20·4 | 65 41·9 | | ” 11 ” | 79 20·2 | 65 32·4 | | ” 13 ” | 79 19·7 | 65 15·8 | | ” 14 ” | 79 19·8 | 64 45·6 | | ” 16 ” | 79 15·5 | 63 39·0 | | ” 17 ” | 79 13·1 | 63 21·7 | | ” 22 ” | 79 9·2 | 62 3·5 | | ” 29 ” | 79 2·4 | 62 55·5 | | ” 30 ” | 79 2·5 | 62 54·2 | | ” 31 ” | 79 2·5 | 62 53·9 | | June 1 ” | 79 2·4 | 62 43·2 | | ” 3 ” | 79 0·4 | 62 29·7 | | ” 5 ” | 79 1·3 | 62 24·8 | | ” 6 ” | 79 1·1 | 62 20·2 | | ” 9 ” | 79 5·4 | 61 31·4 | | ” 10 ” | 79 5·3 | 61 23·6 | | ” 11 ” | 79 4·3 | 61 21·3 | | ” 18 ” | 79 6·6 | 61 5·2 | | ” 20 ” | 79 8·6 | 61 2·8 | | ” 22 ” | 79 9·2 | 60 54·9 | | ” 24 ” | 79 8·4 | 60 31·8 | | ” 25 ” | 79 11·2 | 60 14·6 | | ” 26 ” | 79 13·3 | 59 55·3 | | ” 27 ” | 79 13·7 | 59 46·0 | | ” 28 ” | 79 15·5 | 59 35·4 | | July 3 ” | 79 15·2 | 59 14·8 | | ” 4 ” | 79 14·8 | 59 13·3 |
