Wednesday, April 21st 4th day The southern half of Force Bay was fairly good such as we approached land we encountered three or four inches of snow covered with a thin crust furnishing a poor footing for the dogs. The ice front is very broad and level leading to Cape Ingeroll which is covered with soft snow. We saw one seal on the ice which Sammie tried to get but failed because his dogs became impatient and galloped after him. Also passed two breathing holes. Passed a bear on the talus at Cape Inglefield. He "took wing" when he saw me start. With H.P. Savage at Cape Inglefield there are two or three cairns and a circular wall built, the Eskimos say by Dr. Kane and his men 60 years ago. Will examine them on return. We are leaving here.
