(87) 15 May Tuesday Thin clouds - light S or SE wind Temp 7am -14° C P'd Jensen but seeing board for self 8 days 24km, Jensen 7 days 7 km Julians 2 day 2.1k. This morning you as far, Bauleta 3 ksr, Sophie 1ks, Margreta 1kr + Anne (daughter') 1 kr. Everything seemed to be all right + satisfactory and I got away with my three companions a little before 9 ocl - in fact ca. 8:30 by my watch. Erik has been of the greatest help to me here and I have enjoyed visiting with him, while my call has been a welcome break to him in the monotonous life of the place. He has loaned my men 3 (or 4?) of his dogs thus depriving himself, if this is true, but he says kindly that he is as almost done with sledding anyhow - Lars & Konelius & Launety 7 days Reached Kangarsuk at ca. 2:40 p.m. Six hours for a journey that would not take more than 2 or 3 with good ice, but the go- ing is very bad though the track is broken for half the distance - Snow is soft and about 15 inches deep - more in places - and there is much "foodmush" i.e. mush underlying a few inches of snow. Perhaps two miles from Kangarsuk we over- took a boy dragging a freshly killed seal to the settlement. We stopped + Con. nelius took out his knife & cut out the fat of the seals liver, which we five had.
