8 February. Tuesday.
Somewhat overcast a.m., clearing overhead
about noon, stratus clouds along horizon.
Calm or nearly so. S. wind still blowing
on ice cap. Clouded over again evening
but clear at 6 p.m. & after.
Temp. Min. -15°; 9a.-15°; noon-14°
Walked out along north side of bay
with Dr. Hunt and Mate Davis, but I
turned back at point 3½ miles from ship on ac-
count of windy appearance of ice cap. Saw
sun at noon for a half hour, with ¾ of disc a-
bove horizon at maximum. Cloudy and hazy
but could easily make out the disc. Just 14
weeks since last I saw him, and 97 days
since Eck and Mate Davis saw him.
Took flashlight photo of cabin with 3A.
