4 March, Sunday. In 605 (211 B,N2; O,N22; S,S22; B,N24; B,N26 w.-14.16 -19; -16.6; -9.2; -15; -11. Min-21.3; max-8.1... 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.
