"saw land this morning but think now it was mirage. Yes. Nothing in sight. Thursday April 23rd 9th - 44th day Temp. 32 - 8 A.M. " " 26 - 2 P.M. A great feeling of relief tonight. My dread of 5 years is off. We are here where Crocker Land is supposed to be 120 miles from land according to sights. At noon and yesterday morning although my dead reckoning places us 106 miles from Cape Thomas Hubbard. Have made our best march today over hard going 20 miles in 7 hrs and 45 minutes. From here on it looks very rough but- will go on with only 2 cans kerosene one more march tomorrow- Dogs are tired and weak. E - lost one today.
