Tuesday April 20th
3rd day
Hal and Ah Jor-Jal-Skoo-
left us this morning to
cross Smith Sound for
mush-ry and bears.
Sammie and I came
on up the Greenland
coast getting into an
awful mess in rough
ice off shore about two
miles. Finally we headed
toward land and worked
out of it, discovering excellent
going along shore.
A short march Friday
as one of Sammie's beach dogs
is going on three legs. We
are in camp brought up
a good broad ice foot-jur-
south of Cape Englefield.
Should have a fine run
tomorrow.
Sammie back at 8 o'clock
with two hare and a ptarmigan,
wounded a third but failed
to get him.
We are full to the gun
with chowder, fare, biscuit
and coffee.
