Ie thought that it was going to be an
other lovely day to day, but the sky be-
came overcast before noon and fine
granular snow fell most of afternoon
accompanied with haze or fog.
Beautiful evening. Sammik
took some oil up to Lifeboat Cove
(Polau's winter quarters) for Mac. Iot
started out with him, but he
could find only part of his team
and that was so poor that he turn-
ed back before long. He was com-
plaining of the grippe yesterday,
but has been feeling better today.
During middle of day I walk-
el over to Hayes Harbor (Port
Fourche), going out around the
point and coming back across
the neck of land at the head of the
bay. Hayes says that the top of this is
110 feet above the sea and that the lower
terrace, in which is Sorantap grave, is
32 feet above sea level, but both of these
values seem to me to be excessive. There
are at least two places in the ice foot of
the north side of the bay where the boys
must have found it ticklish work get-
ting by with Kahmatik's last week.
Five mile walk. Very thick on return.
