Thursday Sept 10 Mr left our Camp about 7 am, and crossed a deep bay in a S.W. direction towards the place where we hope to cross the entrance to MeTiCAn Bay. We reached this place at the extremity of the point of a low island, the ground was too strong to make the crossing. This was about 11 o'clock. Mr therefore went into a small bay and sat ashore in hopes the wind would go down. I shot some ptarmigan and after dinner made up one wreath with some other specimens I had on hand. Shot a shub here. About 4 the wind going luckily gone down almost to a dead calm we started out for the low forebay island and reached it in 50 minutes. I estimated the distance as from miles. From here we crossed diagonally in a N.W. direction for the point of the mainland This was about 4 miles from the relay. The large island now shows very plainly and cannot be less than 25 miles in length. Rounding the point, we passed several small rocky points and entered a shallow gravelly bay where we camped. The large mountains lie to the southward of us and seem to have a considerable area above the timberline. At the gullies of this portion of the Mt are 10 feet depth snow. I estimated the clear height as 2000 feet and the part above timber as 500 feet. From that base a broad low area immediately at right angles stretches to the barrier point. At our camp, the rocks approach on the north, are elsewhere an of good size.
