Narrative

That portion of the coast of Wilkes Land between Cape Waldron (in about 115 degrees 05' E) and Cape Southard (in about 122 degrees 04' E). John Balleny is reported to have sighted land in about longitude 117 degrees E on 3 March, 1839. BANZARE, under Sir Douglas Mawson, reported an appearance of land about one degree further south than that reported by Balleny. Mawson retained the name Sabrina, after one of Balleny's ships which was lost in a storm in late March, 1839.
