1 July - Sunday. Fine day with
Good breeze from E or ENR. Mr.
+ Miss Findon and I got away from
Walham at 10.45 a.m. Set main-
sail and jib as soon as we were
clear of the island, steadying the
boat though perhaps not increasing
our rate. Between Crown Prince
and Dog Islands the motor stop-
ped. After an hour or more of
work without discovering the cause
of the difficulty the engine
started up again. Arrived
Egedesminde ca 6.30 p.m. and
found "Ceres" there, she having
gotten in yesterday. Boat came
over to us from her with First Mate
Balle, brother to Probst Balle here,
