Saturday, May 16th
67th day
9-30 A.M.
Right at it today for 13 hours -
coming from lake between the
Glaciers to entrance of Breitstad-
Fjord. In coming down over four
of glacier we made a drag for
the three sledges out of a
Kermiccan bag loaded with 4
25 lb. tins I biscuit and 14 cans
I milk. Even then it was so
steep that we were afraid
they would get away from
us so we turned all three
sledges on their sides. We
succeeded in lowering everything
down safely. Found here 10 lbs.
biscuit, 5 red, 1 blue, and 14 milk.
Started at once down the fjord.
8- killed one seal and crept
up on a more but failed to
get them.
Temp 19 in shade and 46
in sun.
