I lay awake for more than three \n\nhours after K.R. passed on, hence I have felt rather weary to-day. This is the first day that I have assigned as the earliest on which the steamer might be looked for. We have seen no sign of her yet - 4:30 p.m. - and I do not really expect her to come before the 25th. North Star Bay itself is still covered with last winter's ice in place, but the ice is become ing very rotten and there are big holes and pools in it, while a lead has opened all the way across from the outer side of the Una- \n\nake to the "Torrent", as Ekblaw and Janquary call the exit of the stream coming down from the main ice. cap, beyond the promontory called "Petovisc", off which the "North Star" wintered. Called on Rasmussen in the evening.
