520 Four mile + walk with January through middle of bay. This is the sixth consecutive day of this won- derful weather. Would that another series of days like this might begin on the tenth and help us across Melville Bay! Wrote letters pertaining to south- ward journey. One set to help the men on their way, in case I am obliged to drop out of the race at or before we reach Upernavik. This is the third day on which we have been looking for Dr. Hunt to come in, since Mac said that he would arrive on Friday. We wonder what has happened to de- tain him. Nor have any kamatics come to take supplies over to Uma- nak for Ekbaw and Coner.
