like that of most of this bay has narrow, uneven
ice foot. He found a small garnet in the chloritic
mica schist. We saw fine large blue fox on tales
slope. He stopped running from us to dig in the snow,
probably at one of his caches. The foxes cache birds,
mostly auklets, in the summer for winter use.
13 February. Sunday.
Overcast + somewhat thick a.m. Moderate S. Wind
Temp. min -3°; 9a. -3°; 3p. -8°
Last evening the difference between the wind
at the ship and that on the ice cap was shown
with particular distinctness, the clouds driving
northward over the cap while the wind at
the ship was keen from N.E. Air rolls down the
glaciers and out through the fjord. Wind is deflect-
ed from its true course by the steep, high cliffs.
Wind continued so strong during the
day that I stayed on board by Dr. Hunt's advice
Worked on report to H.F.O.
