and occasional light air from E. or S.E. |89 Temp. min -14°; 9a. -4°; 12m. 0°; 2:30, 0°; 5½, -3° Out to Cape Dudley Digges with Dr. Hunt, extcept last half mile with Frands and Pudtlak over glassy black ice ending with about 200 yards over rough white ice. The black ice seemed very ticklish at first and it did bend under us sometimes, but it was hard and 5 or 6 inches thick, hence safe enough. Dotted with clusters of beautiful flakey crystals of salt. Brought back some of the things (melted milk, soup, tobacco etc) from the box which Hendrik brought down from Ummarnak on Friday. Captain Pickels, Ben and Taylor(?) went out too. Crossed the black ice with Dr. Hunt and Ben but then dropped behind, not caring to walk as far as they did even with their loss. A good ten miles, with some bad foot- ing in softish snow.
