Transcription Notes:
Excerpts appear on page 422 of Hall's book "Arctic Researches, And Life Among The Esquimaux: Being A Narrative Of An Expedition In Search Of Sir John Franklin In The Years 1860, 1861 and 1862." The red x footnote "for true" may refer to magnetic measurement, as the book says "by compass."
