In your progress tlirough that inlet to the westward, you will carefully search both its shores, as well as those of Barrow Straits, for any notices that may have been de- |)osited there, and for any casual indications of their having been visited by either of Sir Jolm Franklin's ships. Siiould your early arrival there, or the fortunately protracted open- ness of the season, admit of your at once extending a similar examina- tion to tile shores of the Wellington Cliaunel, it will leave you at greater liberty to devote yourself more fully afterwards to your researches to l!u) westward. The several intervals of coast that appear in our charts to lie between Capes Clarence and Widkcr, must next be carefully ex- plored ; and as each of your vessels have been furnished with a launch litted with a small engine and screw, capable of iJiopelling it between four and ti\e knots, we trust t)y tiieir means, or by the ships' boats, all llioffc j)reliniinary may be completed during the present sea- son, and conseepiently bci'ore it may be necessary to secure th>; ships in.
