the middle of the beach and return (180) ing across the flat to near the igloo before striking the bay again. Walking on bay ice is excellent, winding about between the pools. Noted the granular stephane of the glacier ice. Very little water flowing from the southern arm of the Nunatak Glacier, but rather more from the northern arm. Strong stream six to ten feet wide and four to six inches deep coming from the Cluest (1) glacier and another perhaps equally strong stream flowing from the ice cap through the valley up which the route to Unmanak lies. Many flowers - purple heather (?), purple saxifrage (peppine), yellow poppy, yellow buttercup (?), light violet honeysuckle (?), white hare bell like flower on stiff resinous plant which is used by Eskimos for fuel when oil is absent, etc. A good walk of four or five miles, but easterly wind off the glaciers was strong and piercing and we passed through a light flurry of snow. 9 July. Sunday. C 4. Clear. Almost cloudless from mid- afternoon on. Light southerly breeze (52) at 9a and lights variable or calm all day. Beautiful day. Temp. min 3 1/2°; 9a. 43°; 12m. 45°; 4p. 42°; 6p. 48°; 8p. Chief flared up this morning over my asking Norman (who appeared with clean shaven face, except upper lip) if he was trying to rival the chief. Now the chief shaved off his beard a few days ago, leaving the mustache, and he has gotten a great deal of chaffing from the cabin regarding his appearance, in which how ever I have joined but little. This morning he cursed us all for joining him and said he'd eat at a separate table etc. He was so ugly and swore so much that H.C.P. went for him hard and made him stop talking.
