Sep. 10. Friday.
Baffin Land.
Back again at Cape Hare on Jansens
arrived at 8 A.M. shortly after anchor
place, and that
Jansens come aboard and tells us that my Fitz,
Porter, Shaw, Carpenter, Bral, White and
Brodrick with eight nation in two whale boat
left Cape Hare a few days after our
departure for Fortsichen Bay and that they
have not yet returned. Some of us fear
that some accident may befallen them.
If they do not arrive in a few days the
ship will try to find them.
My finger discharge now feels for
a small hole on the back of the third joint.
Dr. Lohr thought he could find communi-
cation between the cavity and the general shoy,
But in applying a note by pressure of the water
applied to other opening failed to go through the
other opening.
Dawn up our day. Return at 8 P.M.
A storm with snow and rain is
setting in at 4 P.M.
