March 6 continued
There is good map here but I
cannot get it, possibly at Pitenberk.
Have not seen white man
since leaving Sud Myernario's.
The store keeper here and
the one at Jherasab are brothers,
siblings on mother's side of
Knud Resmussen.
March 7th,
Left Piterbalk at 6 Today.
Reached Atar at 4. Dog drivers
demand more pay than it is
right to take me over land
to Pitenberk so I shall
stay here tonight & go to
Jakobsborn tomorrow with
two other men. This may save a day.
Fine weather but warm,
March 8-
Left Ator before dawn.
Found open chots after a few miles, and were forced to
cross over hills to Jakobshorn,
where we arrived at ten
in the evening. Broke one
sledge and had very hard work. Weather perfect.
