We passed Sioralik, and many small and flat rocky islands:  the bay Issorkitok, (a grassy place), a nameless headland; and the larger bay Nappartolik, (a woody country).  The wood is said to commence at the interior point of this bay, and to continue throughout the whole of the Ungava country, which, as we afterwards discovered, extends to a considerable distance to the southward.  Then follows Tunnuyalik, a point, or perhaps an island, on which lies a huge white stone, twenty or thirty feet high, by which it is distinguished from other similar headlands.  A chain of low, flat islands, runs out into the sea to a considerable distance, and appearing at a distance as continued land, they are mistaken for a cape.  Farther on is the bay Ittimnekoktok, where it grew dark before we found a suitable anchorage.  The wind was high, and some of our company went on shore in the skin-boat, in order to pitch their tent, and spend the night.

7th.  On rising, to our great surprise, we found ourselves left by the tide in a shallow pool of water, surrounded by rocky hills; nor could we at all discover the situation of our skin-boat, till after the water had begun to rise, and raised us above the banks of our watery dungeon, when, with great astonishment, not having been able to find it on the surface of the sea, and accidentally directing our eyes upwards, we saw it perched upon the top of a considerable eminence, and apparently on shore.  We then landed, and ascending a rising ground, beheld with some terror, the wonderful changes occasioned by the tides.  Our course was visible to the extent of two or three English miles, but the sea had left it, and we were obliged to remain in this dismal place, till about noon, before the water had risen sufficiently to carry us out.  We now began to entertain fears, lest we might not always be able to find proper harbours, so as to avoid being left high and dry at low water; for having anchored in nine fathoms last night, we were left in one and a half this morning.  Uttakiyok and Thukkekina were with us on shore.  The eminence on which we stood was overgrown with vaccinia and other plants, and we saw among them marks of its being visited by hares.  Near the summit was a spot, covered with red sand, which stained one’s fingers, and among it were fragments of a substance resembling cast iron.  We seemed here to stand on a peninsula connected by an isthmus with another island, or with the continent; but probably at high water it may be a separate island.

As soon as the tide would permit, we set out, and proceeded towards a cape called Kattaktok, surrounded by small islands.  Between the cape and our anchoring place, we passed, on the left, the following objects; Keglo, a broad deep bay; Katarusialik, a headland, probably of the continent; Ukkasiksalik, (meaning a place where soap stone is found), a peninsula; and to the right of the latter
