12 August. Saturday. Nearly cloudy all day. Few flakes of snow falling at 5 p.m. and later. Calm morning but chilly S.E. wind sprang up in latter part of afternoon and was blowing rather freshly (#3) at 6 p.m. Temp. 8a. 33°; 12m. 35°; 4p. 37°; 8p. 36½° Beautifully clear during most of night but dense fog came in in the early morning. Was very thick when "In- gerdis" came into Hendricks Harbor about 3 this morning. The hunt- ing trip was not highly successful, the party getting only one walrus, one mgsruk, several fuisse and some akpats. Erik netted 80 of the last. Our last nights high tide counted fragments of ice came into the head of the bay, lots of which were left along shore by the receding tide.
