1 p.-18°; 3 p.-18°. Calm or nearly so. [3] Out with Dr. Hornt and Pudtlak to seal blow-hole in the ice two miles from "Cluett". Pudtlak bent down at once smelled of the hole to determine its freshness. I tested it and found it musky. The hole is about an inch across. Leaving Pudtlak to watch it, Dr. Hornt walked in one direction and I in another looking for a second hole. We zigzagged over a wide area, but without success. Dr.'s course lay toward the ship and he came in. Mine was outward and I walked 8 or 9 miles before getting back to the "Cluett". Pudtlak gave up watching the hole after an hour or so and went on out beyond Par- kur Snow Point looking for a lead beside which he might use his net for seal.
