"Ingerlis" was brought around 145 into this bay this afternoon. Her new sheathing was partly torn off by the sea on the Cary Is. trip. 7 August. Monday. C.I. S2 at 8a. but becoming N.2 by 9a. and S again in afternoon. Beautiful day & cloudless evening. Temp, 8a. 44½°; 12m. 44½; 4p. 40°; 8p. 41° Roof actually finished this evening, aside from painting. Rasmussen and Peter plus several Eskimos went out Narwhal hunting. They took Dr. with them and I went around in the "In-gerlis" from Thule to the tupics at Uunarak. It was a pleasant sail under a cloudless sky, but rather cool. I saw the glint of the ice crystals forming close to the sun.
