606 with only the least bit of a light in it. Her- liak was delighted enough when she saw the primus that would work. The land, which she called "legualk" (seal), would burn fairly well in her stone stove. 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.
