Wednesday May 6th
57 th day
A long run straight across
the bay for Kvitberg, at least-
35 miles. We have had a
strong wind all our back
all day with drifting snow.
E- rigged a sail on his
sledge and led us all
the way.
Found igloo here
demolished so were compelled
to build a new one:
Blowing hard tonight-
58 th day Thursday May 7th.
Blowing hard and drifting
but with us so we made
fast progress down here to
our old camp on Schei's Island
Found plenty of meat-
here still. Archie has left me
deer skin and taken one of
the three fox skins.
