Out with Dr. Hunts for 8-mile walk around head of bay and along south shore nearly to islet and back.
Superb weather and good walking. He thinks that I had better go home on the "Cluett", if the new steamer does not arrive before the schooner breaks out of the ice and if there seems to be ground for fear that a second relief ship will not come.
We are in serious quandary. There is no doubt in my mind that a second vessel will be sent up this summer, if any message gets through to the museum - and that is sure to go through unless Denmark is now in the war and the "Hans Egede" does not come to Holstensborg this month. What is best to be done, I wonder?
