of Disco.

Chapter 12: The captain declares their latitude to be at 72 degrees
when they are actually at 74 degrees. The promise of 1000 pounds for
each degree beyond 72 is continued throughout the book.

Chapter 12: Names of several English explorers have been garbled in
this translation:

"Stuart" = Charles Sturt
"McDougall Stuart" = John McDouall Stuart
"Wells" = William John Wills
"Havnoan" = ??--Haouran (French version) is a place in Syria.

Chapter 15: "During the day two whalers were seen making toward the
south;" should be "During the day two whales were seen" etc. to agree

Chapter 18: Clifton's counting of the crew at sixteen is faulty since
Garry turned into Hatteras and would no longer be counted. The per
degree rate should be 62 pounds not 72 pounds to agree with all other
versions and actual calculation.

Chapter 18: On June 19th, Point Minto is said by all versions to be at
72 degrees latitude. It is actually at 73 degrees. The next paragraph
immediately proceeds to 74 degrees latitude at Melville Bay.

Chapter 20: Creswell's march to Beechey Island was 470 miles in the
French version and in later discussions in Part II, Chapter 15.

Chapter 21: The year of Lieutenant Bellot's first expedition in search
of Franklin is corrected from "18 0" to "1850."

Chapter 23: The large white masses gathering "indicated an approaching
thaw" is translated in another version as "an approaching frost" which
