22 July. Saturday. Heavily overcast, thick, calm. Showers of rain began to fall between 3 & 4 a.m. and continued all day, some of them being heavy. A really rainy day. Temp. min 32°; 8 a. 41°; 12 m. 37°; 4 p., 39°; 8 p., 39° Rasmussen and his party came in from Saunders Island by boat all except for short stretch of ice over wh. they dragged the boat the way last evening. He reached our tent at 12:25 this morning and reported completely open water and "no ice" in sight outside Saunders Island. The party was not as suc- cessful in hunting as they hoped to be. They got only one walrus and one narwhal (both killed by our Egingwah), but secured many seals. Egingwah suffered from an attack of the grippe out there but is better now though he looks thin and tired.
