Friday Aug.17. Was up at sunrise and put in the time hunting about the Enges where I hoped to see Nares and to my great delight started two old ones, both of which I secured. I discovered the first one sitting motionless about 25 yards in front of me and he resembled a boulder so closely that I had to take a close look to be sure of his identity when I lost no time in securing him. The second was started near the same place about half an hour later, after I had hunted about all the grounds in the vicinity and had started to cover the ground again, and killed on the run. I also killed a prazel among the docks near the camp beneath the rock on which I shot it. I found the remains of several specimens of the species I have taken above here. I found the two larger species A willow which I have ten collected with Q here, the smooth-leaved one growing in good sized clumps and being in some cases 2 inches in"diameter at the base, but only about 3 feet high. Found also a shrub, with bright red berries, having a bitter taste and I collected a sprig of it. I think I have taken it further south, on the way up. About 8 o'clock we were able to get our boat off and started and rowed against the wind until about noon, when it blew so hard that we could make no headway. So we put down the anchor and waited hoping for a change or dull, in the wind but it only increased in force so when the tide began to come in. We ran the boat in a small bay with sandy bottom and the Indians said I went ashore. We found plenty of drift wood and I stanned my (retro) Harco by the light of the camp fire.
