Thursday - July 30 - 1914 I tried to take out Hal's launch but the wind was too strong. This afternoon we broke my piece of tin in near the motor boat with dynamite but found that at low tide we could do better. Friday - July 31 - 1914 She was limited today as they do nearly every good day. I think she shot an oolshock but it cost a lot anyway, for it was her real & other else was killed. They brought in a load of walrus meat for the dogs from saw & the carbo. Blasted ice-field. Saturday - Aug 1 - 1914 I went out towards Sunrise Point looking for a place suitable for the tide gage. The water had frozen during the night and I had a good deal of trouble getting thru the drift and thin ice. A lane has broken thru the ice to the ice past near the motor boat but the main line of the drift ice still extends from just beyond the Point to a Point on the South end midway between Dry Island and Hayes Cairn. She now started the launch over to the island for the wireless house.
