"expect open water and to be held up for a few days at least. We arrived here with 1106 lbs of Greenland seal and a total weight of 1400 lbs. Our back trail is well covered with oil, tar, mutton, miscuit, dog Greenland and muss-up meat so we should feel that we have accomplished something at least. Wednesday, April 15th 1st - 36th day 10- All kinds of a day, wind weather, and going being variable the former from flat calm to violent gales- bringing us to a halt the latter from smooth slippery ice, snowaths going ride- ways to hard, lillochs. Travelled from 10-15 to 6-45 along the edge. The course N95 East was so nearly parallel with coast that I decided to camp on land once more."}
