Aug 6 - 92 Friday. Off Greenland. This morning the sky is cloudy, obscur the inland portions of Greenland. The ice land in hardly more covered with small glaciers than in Baffin Land. Birds are numerous mainly the dog dungs and a greyish sea gull. Mr. White and I spent the morning in setting our provisions on deck to make drift two lots, one to go ashore at Aiganderdllick - the other in the region of Umualik. We found all of it excepting one box which was presented to us by Pierce & Co. He finished the work in the after- noon. White saw a whale today. Everyone aboard is busy. Mr & Mrs Lee will go ashore at Godhavn and they have their provisions now on deck. Mat, Lieut Perry's man, and Fujinis are busy cutting timbers to be used in securing the meteorite. They are assisted by Messrs Stichney and Henry. Lieut Perry is all dressed up to pay his respects to the Inspector of Upper Greenland and receive permission to do his work in Greenland. I'm understood that any parties carrying in Greenland without permission are regarded as pirates.
