Tuesday Apr 21 1914
We are turning out as 5:30 & starting
at about 7:30. One evening morning the wind
seems generally in a SW or W direction which
is much easier on our fore.
Going good most of the 8 hours we travel
did.
I tried to get a longitude sight tonight
but the sun was too low by the time I
had made ready, & I only succeeded in
priting my fingers.
We are making our first cake here as
we also seem to be past all mague leets. We
are having 44 red, 1 blue 2 oil & 37 1/2 biscuit.
Bunches lost another dog today.
Wednesday Apr 22 1914
Going good and weather perfect. Dark.
latitude right putting us in 81° 51.6' north lat.
I am glad to know this is a long night the
first open reading came just as in 107° west
which is a little to the west part of our dark-
screwing.
Saw Cape Johnson that first thin. Am. open
breeds raised up by mague & at least 71
miles away. In the am we also saw mague?
th ice in th N & SW & W, which I was sure to be
land but the Equino proved right, we found is only rocks.
