N., the Officers and Seamen under his command. This plate representing the brig 'Jane' and cutter 'Beaufoy' on 20th February, 1823, bearing up in 74:15' S (being the highest southern latitude ever reached) is most respectfully dedicated by their very obedient and humble servant W. J. Huggins. Engraved by E. Duncan. London, published by W. J. Huggins, October, 1826. The vessel returned to London 13 July 1824 with a cargo of 60 casks, 3,076 skins, 14 leopard seal skins, hides and horns.
