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.
