addition to these to overcome we had a breaking crust across Uve Ford Once across we found smooth ice so smooth in fact, that Arleis got off his sledge to get a whip lark and could not get back to it. It was a funny sight; he looked like a hen on ice. Finally he "went ashore" and came up along the ice foot to his team which we stopped. Just below the joint here we saw Sly bare feeling, the boys that two also two flannigan. We found both iglos "par-tee-tech-h" (down). One we have repaired for tonight. The different articles which I left here were buried but- soon dug out. Am overjoyed to find Troels of furs. I have worried for two days over my safety. Am now ready for much up or bear. An affair, things are going very well. What's going to happen?
