20 th day
Blowing and drifting Today holding us in camp until about 2 o clock when my two Esquimos got away for which open, E. Took-ah-slave thinks he can see a narrow passage out of this end of sea to the Northeast. Will probably tell me more about it when he returns.
It is 37 + here on the led platform so must be rather warm outside.
Ee Took-ah-slave says he and Dr Cook sailed much open on this island and thinks they went through this very pass.
