Bay Fjord
Sunday July 29 - 1914
Beautiful weather!
Had a hard pull over rocks + soft snow.
Found a moose from afar. Set dogs on number
moose, he went for him in camp, & finished
coming of the meat.
Monday July 30 - 1914
Loaded hammocks with red & blue furriers,
oil, tea, snails & biscuits.
Left camp at 11:2 a.m. + reached #6's
first igloo at 7:5 P.M. This sort allowed me
to double march but the dogs were too tired.
Found some coal up the river valley be-
low the igloo.
Tuesday - March 31 - 1914
Started in a gale of winds + drifting snow
at 8:5 am. Saw a seal on the ice but dog
scared it away before we could kill it.
Racket to camp dogs furriers tonight +
2 qals gold.
I did not work more here because of
the manner to the big cave at the head of the
fjord. It seems better that we hang to
our loads & drag as possible, if we do
abandon then it will be well on toward our
objective the Cape.
