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.
