Cape Sabine 19 th day Monday, May 21. A rough day for a long march. Snowing, blowing, and drifting when we left camp at C. Isabella, but with the wind at our backs and good sledding we covered the distance to the Bear Put in nine and three quarters hours. Open water at C. Herschel compelled us to take the years again. As we swung around the lower point of C. Sabine a flock of ducks arose from the water. Such an occurrence goldens one's heart after a lifeless winter. Our last gumboots will be used to-night. Dogs are very hungry, therefore we have taken every thing from our sledges and placed all on or in the house. We stopped at our old camp this side C. Herschel and provided in the wind for a half hour for also found a seal's head which he left a month ago.
