Transcription Notes:
Discovered in Hall's Book "Narrative of the second Arctic expedition made by Charles F. Hall" that the abbreviation "ENC." or "enc." is short for
Encampment." The hand-drawn map on page 9 is very similar to the map on page 583 of Hall's book "Arctic Researches, and Life Among the Esquimaux: Being the Narrative of an an Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin, in the Years 1860, 1861, and 1862."
