left South West a long way drag. As we had sailed nothing here before I did not expect we would on the return. As we glided along behind our sledges out at all happy a bear jumped out from behind an ice berg! A magnificent big wal! Meanwhile and I were ahead and almost before I could grab my camera we were in the mix up. Meanwhile wal toppled Qun over giving as full effect on his sledge. He jumped down into a hole near the berg and I and my dogs nearly on top of him! I swapped the camera at a beautiful scene and when to my chagrin there was no film in it! I tugged at my feet to clip the dogs but they wouldn't clip. It was so well that they did not.
