Monday, April 26th 9th day Good going but a cold wind and drift- Dr came at Kam-mow-ly- stayed at Auritch to look it over. Found there & igloos and remains of Dr Cook's and Brown Murphy's house of 1908-09. Seems to be a delightfully warm place. Rough ice between here and there gave us a hard time. Tuesday, April 27th. Three seals on the ice this. Sammie crept up to within 90 yards, fired, and missed his shooting under. The others drifted into their holes at the report of the rifle light breeze from the north.
