Sir
Mr Davis served as second Master in HMS 'Terror' in the Antarctic Expedition under Sir James Ross
He is mentioned in Sir JD Hookers Botany of the Antarctic Voyage p xii as worthy of especial thanks for the help given in scientific matters. I do not find his name among the officers of the Beagle in Capt Fitz Roys volume. I imagine he held some inferior position
