"a mile of Prion and had some trouble in finding it. In an hour or more we overtook Ek so we were off the trail. We forged ahead and succeeded in getting across the bay + then skirted the coast of Kefntaksoak. Open water was seen but did not force us onto the ice foot. Storm increased but we were in the lee of the high cliffs and the temperature was not low. Snow soft and deep for last 5 or 6 miles to Jepsen and air was so fog laden that our men missed the way and circled twice after Ek told me it was only a mile farther. The third attempt was successful and at 5:30 we got to Jensen house, to my great relief + I guess that all were glad. It was the most disagreeable day on the whole, I think, on which I traveled since leaving Stok Jensen has a girl of 14 ani - a boy of 9[illegible] and a girl of 11 at home. A neat drink down this way is a home-brewed ale. Rather palatable. Jensen has a German victor + we had some music + dancing by the two children in Denmark + one (that Peter) also.
