At Winter Harbour Captain McClure found a large fragment of sandstone, with this inscription "His Britannic Majesty's ships Hecla and Griper, Commanders Parry and Lyddon, wintered in the adjacent harbour during the winter of 1819-20. A. Fisher, sculpsit." Lieutenant McClintock had left a notice of his visit on the previous year on the same fragment, and protected it by a large cairn.
The legend A. W. F. sculpsit was engraved on the narrow margin; and there was no further inscription. The whole thing gave the impression that it was the work of an amateur. What in the world Mr Britnell could mean by affixing the price of £2 2s. to such an object was more than Mr Williams could imagine.
