Smith Sound Saturday July 18th 1914 On Monday July 1st I left Elisha in the whale boat with O'Blayak - a pudgy sho, Nearing ash & Elthesku who had Ahlena his wife with him. We were bound hunting & visited Littleton Island -> Ammoroth then crossing The Sound to Bagen Harbor. We were storm bound there for three days & on escaping went to the Greely camp where we had delightful meetings for several one day. So-day we reached home after a very successful trip, the results of which were as follows: 10 sheep 9 walrus 8 manwhal 14 ducks 131 sea pigeons, scaly auks etc. 2 seal. We made numerous caches at the various points near the camps. We spent three nights on the ice in Smith Sound but it was breaking up rapidly & we found it unpleasant. The ivory gull appears to breed on Broughton Island or Thurston's although we found no eggs. We found a small record on Grim Island left by Holdin, the naturalist of the "Alert." It was dated 1875 & said "All well. H.M.S Alert." I went in swimming off the ice in the sound. I practiced kayaking from a kayak.
