16th day Friday, May 18. Six hours and a quarter from See Berg Camp to the Peninsula or Bear Camp. Since we have been gone there has been a wind and drift almost obliteration our trail and making travelling worse than ever. The dogs were so tired that I deemed it best not to try to overtake. Have taken time signals for longitude and azimuth, also run a base line 7876 feet and taken signals to all prominent points with altitude 2 Peninsula. Also Ford has just tried for a real but lost him. The first Burgomaster quilt has come down by the cliff back of the tent. Summer is here; although the temperature at midnight is zero.
