Copy of record left - at
Finlay Land.
April 21, 1916.
Arrived here
on April 19 with my
three Eskimos, Arleio,
Nucar-ping-wah, and
E-tooh-ah-shoo, four
sledges, thirty nine
dogs. Left - Etah,
North Greenland March
22. Crossed Smith
Sound on 23-24.
To date have
killed ten bears and
fourteen seals, thirty
[illegible] up, and fourteen
hare, and two ptarmigan.
Find here tracks
of Lemming, fox, and
doeibou.
Bad weather
and lack of dog food
compel me to retreat-
to North Cornwall where
I hope to find more up.
