Friday May 11
9th day.
Our fates are not a bit
kind Another long day of
eleven hours plodding
through deep snow. However
there is this reward, - I find
the coast quite different from
the map. Am constantly taking
bearings and observations
for latitude.
In Cadogan Inlet I left-
a cache of 3 gal. oil, one tin
biscuit, and forty eight pounds
I pemmican for our return.
At four o'clock on this
side the Bay, told me there
is a spouting stream of
water winter and summer.
Two seals were seen on the
ice but disappeared before
we could fire at them.
As soon as camp was
made Carlso descried a
bear with his binoculars
some distance away to the
Southward, the boys have
now gone after him
- 22.9 at midnight.
