6 April 18, Tuesday, 28th day. Long. 100° W; Lat. 77° 45' N. Cafe Mathorst. We remain here today to find game, if possible. Have sent the Eskimos back into the hills. It is threatening and looks very much like snow but may clear up. Sher. - 25 F. Bar. 29.76 Since 9h 45m P.M. The boys are back. To my disappointment, not a thing. They returned along shore following fresh bear tracks. Lemming tracks are also reported. About 5 o'clock Finlay Land was clearly visible on the western horizon; our first view of our objective point. It looks high and not far distant which is additional proof that we are at Cafe Mathorst.
