4 Nov. Out along southeast shore stay with Captain Comer in a snow storm - Went up on and examined as well as I could in the dim light a mass of gneiss associated with a b--- basic dike that projects into the bay, form a promontory 100 yards wide, 30 ft high and 100 yards out in the water Flatish top - Saw no signs of any encampments on top - Went also to the drift glacier further west. This mass is very local but ice is dense and blue. Formed apparently by a snow drift in a small gully. Old surfaces are marked by curved lines of sand which were blown upon them as mass was formed 8 Nov. 11 a.m - clear, no sun. 7x 15, 11+12, 4/25 Men hauling kerosene load of ice from berg to ship for water supply
