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.
