Tuesday April 28
14th - 49th day
On summit-Cafe Thomas Hubbard.
With strong pair glasses we can see what bears a strong resemblance to land from south west-true through to N.N. East. This is at 6-15 and under most favorable conditions. This is Carrage and undoubtedly received Peary.
Came to land today from No 3 cutting direct for Cafe Thomas Hubbard. Had supper and started at once for top of cafe to take advantage of good weather. A hard climb breaking through the crust at nearly every step.. At last we reached summit 1600 feet altitude. Here we found a very large cairn almost completely buried covered with snow.- Found record and piece of American flag in CrockBox left by Peary on June 28th, 1906.
