"1/2 lbs Jerusalem, 2 gal oil, one can powder and one can beans. Thursday April 22nd 5th day The realization of a wish of years ago. We are located in camp in Rensselaer Harbor, Dr. Kane's winter quarters from 1853 to 1855. Dr. Kane was yet located cairns or records but believe our tent to be pitched near Butler Island where he had his store carriage and dog house. As we came into the harbor I saw a seal running himself. Sammie crept up with "hot-oh-tah-s" but did not shoot to kill. Blood around the hole indicated that he was badly wounded. Are sorry as our dogs are very poor and need the meat if we are to go or much farther.
