Foxe then proceeded on his course down to 55° 14', later known as Cape Henrietta Maria, at the head of James Bay. On 3 September he turned the head of his ship northward until he reached Cape Pembroke on Coats Island five days later. From 15 to 20 September Foxe made observations on the channel that bears his name on the west shore of what is now Baffin Land. On 22 September he turned homeward, among the numerous islands and sounds off the north shore of Hudson's Strait. Foxe found himself once more off Resolution Island, at the entrance to the strait. On 5 October he made Cape Chidley.
