George Francis Lyon one of Barrow's favorites had made a name for himself in the exploration of Africa before serving as commander of the HMS Hecla during William Edward Parry's second Arctic voyage. Thereafter in the spring of 1824 Lyon was given command of the sluggish and cranky HMS Griper with orders to winter in Repulse Bay in northwest Hudson Bay and then cross Melville Peninsula to explore the northern coast of mainland America. Ice conditions were difficult however and he was unable to even reach Repulse Bay and had to return home that same Fall. He was never given another naval command. John Murray hardcover

1825168765London: John Murray 1825. First edition detailing Lyon's attempt to reach the North West Passage through Hudson Bay on the HMS Griper. The voyage proved unsuccessful in finding the passage due to poor weather conditions. The work also describes the Inuit of the Southampton Islands and the author's scientific findings. George Francis Lyon 1795-1832 had made a name for himself accompanying Joseph Ritchie's scientific expedition in Africa. Lyon organized a publication of their findings on his return to London in 1820. He then accompanied Parry's attempt on the northwest passage on the Hecla in 1823 publishing The private journal of Captain G. F. Lyon the following year. Lyon was then promoted captain and appointed the Griper. "Lyon's instructions were to reach Repulse Bay by whatever route he judged best and from it to examine the coast of the mainland westward to the point where John Franklin's voyage had ended its survey. He sailed on 6 June but the season proved unfavourable and he returned to England in November." The route that he chose "for reasons that never became clear" Howgego took them south of Southampton Island approaching Repulse Bay through Roes Welcome Sound and required "navigating a labyrinth of treacherous shoals". Foul weather and high winds forced Lyon to return incurring the wrath of Sir John Barrow at the Admiralty as a result of which he was never offered another commission.
