"Fears" A little more snow
than last time enabled us
to cross more easily and
quickly.
In camp one half mile
from end of C. Herschel on
West side, was in Cupes
that clear could be obtained
but also had no such tea
and biscuit only for supper.
Temp + 2.9° F at 6 P.M.
Has been running all day, it
now is think that C. Elizabeth
cannot be seen to the Southward.
Hope to get a sight of it
tomorrow in order that we
can direct our course straight
across. Very fine going here
in the right - soft deep snow.
Some distance from the land,
however, it should improve when
the wind is stronger.
Have no pennican tin
