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
