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.
