finally got into calmer water and turned into a cave
on the windward side of which was a narrow niche between
rocks into which we were glad indeed were more
be in a refuge from the waves and saved the rocks.
Landed about 7 P.M. during some half way from how
road to store once morning. It was a "Greenland
experience", written much your live while in bril-
lion sun amidst grand and imposing scenery. It
turned out to be a nice camping place. It but was not
the name. The place was a former Eskimo living place,
but the natives knew nothing of it at that time. Less than
home sits an now or near sea level, means the place has
sunk outside. Section of floor of floors shows at my
first for much earth filled into holes, etc. Up in valley
above sea, south, found old graves from which Johnknot
and Hickney each obtained 2 skulls. Night extremely
cold and chilly. Several corks stranded and got stuck.
We are glad to be safely on land again after
Samb alarms and harleys expecting our boat any mo-
ment to appear. It was unfortunate that the winds
should loose all their tackle.
