Etah.
Monday June 21-1915
Clear for first time in weeks - +42°
We have been having cloudy warm
weather with occasional snow or rain until
we are sick of it. The whole fjord is dark
where bottom is flat winter's ice, gradually
the water (which is from the rain) is draining
off leaving small islands free.
The day is ready for a trip but the
south wind has brought ice up and since
still we can see no open water to the
W or WSW. At C. Alexandra + north I
saw ice about two bare boats in transit to
open water near. We are looking eagerly for
signs of a break-up. We want to get back
from not only for our boats + kayaks but for
the summer lord of it -

I am far from comfortable there. -Tumney just
