E Tookas'ooq & Koloondema were so far ahead of us this morning that they did not go over to Peters camp to meet him - - Rather less than an hour's drive brought us to Cape Holm & we were going along at a good gait when K. saw fresh tear tracks that he looked sharply up the hill & saw the animal. Soon we all saw him crossing a snow patch 300 feet or more up the mountain. He was 400 yds or more away but I anxiously took a shot at him - no effect, then the men loosed some dogs from their tams and began a wild rush up the mountain (carrying a howling trees of dogs behind). Within an hour I heard a great shout above going our into ice when I could look well up I saw two men on the edge of the snow bench 500-600 above the van. They called out "Nanmoo shatigo" - it was a joyful call. They slid like cats down a snow slope leading to the sea & they then came with the dogs were seen at the Kohinwolets after two unsuccessful the bird went into which the latter had gotten in the excitement. 59.
