437 28 November. Sunday. Clear and moonlit till about 11 a.m., then overcast. Noon twilight getting very weak. Temp. min. -5°; 9a. -5°; 2p. +3°. Ice 22¼" Calm with an occasional light breeze from the head of the fjord. Ekblaw, Tanquary and I started out shortly before noon for a walk westward along the north shore of the bay. Tanquary turned back about one and three-quarters miles from the ship, but Ekblaw and I continued as far as the prominent point 3+ miles away. There we found the temperature at 1p., m. to be -6½°. At the ship on our re- turn an hour later it was +3°, a dif- frence of 9½ degrees. Interesting, be- cause we at the ship have been saying for a long time that it seemed ten degrees colder in the outer bay than at the "Chretells" berth. Breakfast. Fried bacon, baked beans, bread, butter, coffee, molasses.
