"Friday May 8th 59th day Started from Kvitberg with a gale of wind at our back. E-set- a sail on his sledge, when he struck smooth ice he lost control of his ship and was as funny as a g-al. We travelled for 11 hours al- easily Friday May 8th 59th day Glad to put-Scheis Island behind us. Found the ice for a long ways from land covered with sand showing strength of wind. For 11 hours we hung to it making at least 32 miles h- our qloo at Blamau-den. Struck one mile below it and was obliged to go back facing a strong wind. Here we found the qloo down and built a new one. As we came past Schraelingvolden a wolf ran out to meet us, both teams took after it giving us an exciting chase along the shore for about 2 miles.
