the coast. Find here a Peary ledge left by our supporting party. Evidently their dogs were weak and they have decided to join teams. Hope they will get home all right. Tuesday, May 5th 56th day A good day but hazy. Proceeded south about 10 miles when, E-- saw 4 caribou about 1/4 mile from the shore. Stopped dogs and waited for him to go up and kill them. Two of them were pregnant. Horns were about-1 foot in length. Tonight we have had our usual big teel, hearts, tongues, livers, kidneys, and tenderloin. We each fed a whole caribou and but third to our team. Three brains are freezing for morning which we will eat raw.
