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.
