Thursday April 28 1914 Spring excellent & weather beautiful, a few pressure ridges during latter part of day but our sledges are almost empty and it is so thick & heavy over them. Dusk mer all & found we were in 82° 10' N. We are trying to keep up to the north more since we are so far to the west. Are & the men got short & must go for that I did not get into long until the 7th June. Friday April 24 1914 Out sledge - a little gummin on our sledges - double put our dogs then went made a march almost due north about 8 to 5 miles & returned. We are on a land-ice & shown by the map. The character of the ice changes radically here, being very much broken as this by shoals or adverse currents. This is the only indication of anything that might be even 'hole great' - As the weather was clear & we could see no land on any side we returned to camp for nights. At observation put us in 80° 30' N + L: 168° W. The men were willing to go on from this point but he saw no need of it.
