Drift-wood. Double Cape Uibvaksoak. Distant view of Akpatok. August 2d. Having made all needful preparations for the voyage, a gentle but favourable wind, and occasional rowing, brought us, about nine in the morning, to the entrance of the much dreaded Ikkerasak. The weather was pleasant and warm, not a flake of ice was to be seen, and all our fear and anxiety had subsided.
The musquitoes were extremely troublesome during our repast, after which we retired to sleep on board the boat. 4th. Wind fair. We passed numerous low rocks; a point, by name unknown to Uttakiyok; the bay Ikpigitok, two miles broad, and the cape called Uibvaksoak, the northern boundary of the great bay or gulf of Abloriak.
But the district of Ungava is separated from the island by a large inland bay, extending southward to the 58° N.L. North of Akpatok, the Esquimaux speak of islands well peopled by their countrymen, who have never seen Europeans. Having safely doubled the point or cape of Uibvaksoak, we came to an anchor near a small island to the south, where we spent the night. 5th.
