The voyage was continued, and as the Mercy appeared to flow not towards the shore, but rather towards Mount Franklin, it was decided that they should use the boat as long as there was enough water under its keel to float it.
La navigation fut reprise, et bien que, par sa direction actuelle, la Mercy parût courir, non vers le littoral, mais plutôt vers le mont Franklin, il fut décidé que l'on se servirait de la pirogue, tant qu'elle trouverait assez d'eau sous sa quille pour flotter.
