I thought she would take to a glacier giving me an excellent opportunity for a series of failures, but she headed due toward the glacier in the end of C. Faraday, and soon outdistanced us. She has followed her with Adélie's dogs, but if he ever overtakes her he will find her dead. He was barely moving when we last saw him. In camp on top I am ice berg endeavoring to find something solid to stand upon. We can count at least three years in sight and are helpless. The land here is so different from what is on the map that I can hardly recognize it, I believe C. Faraday is miles too far north. From here to Clarke Head Land it is but a step. Sunders Island and Miller Island do not exist.
