Monday, April 20th. 6th - 41st- day Nine leads served up to us today but we can forgive the evil spirit- for we have had good hard going and a pleasant day enabling us to cover 16 miles realising a total of 56 from Land. Two dogs gave out- both from Pee-dee-wah-to, team. They all seem weak and very tired. Fed double ration tonight- hoping to keep them going for 5 days more at 15 per day which will give us a total of 120, the distance estimated by Mary of Crocker Land from shore. There is no more riding; we have walked all day trying to help the dogs. One abandoned by Pee-dee-wah-to came in tonight. Am planning to turn back in 6 days if I can get good rights- and do not see dead.
