6 October. Friday 8a, 5°; 12m, 8.5; 4p, 9°; 8p, 10°; 12h, 10°; min 4.5°, max 10° C1, N.E.6; 3, N.5; C1, N.E.5; 3, N.E.5; 3, N.E.4. With Mac's sanction and help and Capt. Corner's help began overhauling Green's boxes in a search for the various parts of the seismograph. Found some of them. I cannot understand Fitz's not setting up the machine, he did not claim to Mac that any parts were missing. The clock runs all right. Ice covers most of fjord except from bay but Mac does not think that this will stay. 7 October. Saturday 8a, 10.5°; 12m, 17; 4p, 16.3°; 8p, 18°; 12h, 16°. min 7.3° C6, N.E.4; C6, O; C5, N.1; O, N.E.2; C5, O. Fjord, including our cave, wholly frozen over. We hope now that the calm weather will hold until the ice becomes thick enough to [illegible] remain in place. Found box containing drum, needle arms etc. of the seismograph. Its condition showed without doubt that it had never been opened since it left Georgetown University. The same was true of box No5 which I opened yesterday and which contained the lamp, spare parts re and a note in Capt. Gordon's handwriting. Captain Corner and I unpacked the two boxes containing the major portion of the frame and we were positive that one of these had not been opened before, because the packing was that of an effort and not like that of the other box which had been unpacked and repacked. It furthermore contained a legend for me in pencil.
