Tuesday May 15th Leaving camp at 7 this morning. Sun cloudless but very warm. Wind from the north-west. Handled Glacier Carried our bear meat and skins to a small island part of what I judge to be Cape Scott. There we buried all to await our return. Hard crawling as the snow is up to the cross bars on our sledges. Passed many bear tracks today crossing over criss crossing in all directions but no bears as yet. At 5:30 we saw 5 seals ahead of us at a little so I sent Aubin who is our new game getter out ahead to bag one for the dogs and ourselves. An hour later before he got there but one remained and is still with us. The dogs are full. Cloudy but signs of better weather.
