Sunday, April 18th.
1st day.
Left Elkh at 3 o'clock this afternoon for Dr. Kains winter quarters and a run up the coast for Bears.
Extremely rough ice compelled us to sled to ice just nearly all the way to our camp here at Cape Olsen about a mile this side of Sunrise Point. Hal swathed his feet so badly that to continue was out of the question.
I advised that he return to Elkh for my "MacMillan" boots.
Al Good-Elkh-o, who is somewhat worried over his wife's sickness has returned with him.
Sammie and I are very comfortable in our landau tent with Jewell giving full feed and belly full of cider duck eggs, coffee, and biscuits. Temperature about zero.
