In 1850 Elisha Kent Kane accompanied a party equipped by Grinnell with two ships under Lieutenant De Haven. They reached Smith Sound as described in The United States Grinnell expedition in search of Sir John Franklin (1854). Kane went north again in 1853 and reached 78° 41'. This expedition is recorded in his Arctic explorations: the second Grinnell expedition (1856). Don was on an ordinary whaling ship to the Eskimos, with whom he lived for two years in 1860-62.

Dr. Kane went up on the east side, but Dr. Hayes expects to find the western shore more free from ice. Having attained perhaps 80 degrees, he would, during the mouth of October, carry two boats and a quantity of provisions to some point about two hundred miles north-northwest, which he hopes to accomplish before the long winter's night sets in. In April, or as soon as it is light enough, he will
