Bancroft Bay
The same deep snow is
Rensselaer Harbor but excellent
going along ice foul.
Stopped at our cache
and to my surprise found
7 old abimos (glors) just
above on a sand terrace.
Think Kane missed
telling there or he would
have chosen it.
We have two cases for
supper 1 Sammie last one, I
the other,
While filling our tent
Arbisio discovered two seals
out on the ice. Sammie is
now stalking them. Sammie
back. It proved to be a rock.
Arbisio camped here last
year. He says we are close
to the big glacier! I do not
understand this at all. He
came with here from the west
southern part of Rensselaer
(Harbor in 4 hours. 2 place us
according to the map just
this side of Bancroft Bay
and here we are on right.
