Filled about 400 bags. Saw our first pack-ice, just narrow strips which we got through easily. Fred Patterson worked down in the bunkers with us shovelling coal. August 14-13 Thursday. A thick fog is hanging over the sea and is necessitating our diminishing speed to about four miles an hour. This morning we finished bagging coal, but did not hoist the bags on deck. Mr Newberry, th. "Eriki" first mate saw some walrus early this morning. August 15-13. Friday. Fog cleared about ten pm yesterday and the beautiful Greenland coast could be seen about 25 miles off our starboard beam. Sighted Cape York this morning and had quite a hard time getting thru the drift ice and to the Cape. Saw one tupak on the hill, and four eskimos came out in kayaks, to us as we entered. "Myah" and "Kioto" came aboard and Mac talked with them and found that the boys he wanted were on an island about 20 miles south. We started down there but gave it up as the ice was too thick. Left Cape York for North Star Bay about two p.m. Judge Sprigg traded four plugs chewing tobacco to Myah for a nowhel turk. August 16-13 Saturday Erik arrived North Star Bay early in morning - about 2 oclock; Mac went ashore
