required, were transferred to the _Hecla_, and every effort was made to
carry the surviving ship into clear water.

Five and twenty days of the time when navigation was practicable had
been lost.  As soon, therefore, as the boats had been hoisted up and
stowed, they sailed away to the north-eastward, with a light air off the
land, in order to gain an offing before the ice should again set in
shore.  The _Hecla_ was at length worked out of Prince Regent's Inlet,
and arrived safely at Melville Harbour, where the necessary repairs were
effected for enabling her to cross the Atlantic.

Weighing anchor on the 1st of September, the _Hecla_ entered Barrow
Strait, where the sea was found perfectly open, and she was thus enabled
to bear away to the eastward.  In crossing Lancaster Sound more than the
usual quantity of icebergs were seen.  For ten miles she had only to
make one tack, when she reached the margin of the ice, and got on its
eastern side into the open sea.  On the 10th of October the Orkney
Islands were sighted, and on the 12th Captain Parry landed at Peterhead.

This last voyage to discover the north-west passage, though less
successful than the former ones, equally exhibited the courage,
perseverance, and hardihood which had before distinguished the officers
and crews employed; while we cannot help contrasting the admirable
discipline maintained with the sad want of it displayed in so many of
the voyages described in the preceding pages.

In 1827 Captain Parry commanded an expedition, which was fitted out in
the hopes of reaching the north pole by way of Spitzbergen, when,
accompanied by Captain Ross, he performed a long and hazardous journey
over the ice; but, after travelling six hundred miles, it was found that
they had only made good, owing to the drift of the ice, one hundred and
seventy miles.

As a reward for his laborious services, he received the honour of
knighthood, and Admiral Sir Edward Parry will ever be remembered as one

 Weighing anchor on the 1st of September, the _ Hecla _ entered Barrow

 make one tack, when she reached the margin of the ice, and got on its

 Islands were sighted, and on the twelfth Captain Parry bring at Peterhead. 

 This final voyage to discover the north - west passage, though less
