the little core [south] east end of Cape
Alexander promontory where Freireck
found Ekblew in August 1914 -
We cast anchor in poor holding
ground and put a long line ashore
which was made fast around a column
of basalt- = Sarfalic (or Sorfalik)
on Sonntag Bay - Two (perhaps 3)
glaciers discharge into this bay and

14th Got a very little sleep during rest of
night but a strong N. or N.E. wind came
down on us about Three a.m.
and gave us plenty to do to keep out
trouble - Hendrik got the engine

because wind was too high - H.F.
Sigdy went ashore to adjust.
