Friday April 24th 10th - 45th day Another perfect day. Deep blue sky, not-a cloud nor a trace of vapor. It is about- 30 below. With light sledges we ran on this morning for about 3 miles through very rough ice; in fact the worst slogging I have ever seen. I have returned to No & tonight and will leave for home in the morning. Could get no bottom at 150 fathoms. I have rights for longitude and latitude. Variation 147 westerly. Can see for at least 75 miles - not-a thing in sight- but- pressure ridges. Saturday April 25th 11th - 46 th day A hard day. Wind and drifting snow. Lost our back trail very soon after leaving No & gloo. Men went up and down but just failed to find it. Guess we must a lose our big cache at No 6. E- found it. A long walk.
