Describing the return journey DR. Cook
said:

Then 1 felt the ice moving eastward carrying
us with it, A terrible fog swept round us and
kept us for three weeks unable to make an OBJ

further than the s4th degree. Then began
heavy walk toward Heibergsland and another
three weeks of fog When that cleared saw
we had drifted southwest to Ringnesland, where
we found open water and towerhigh screw Ice
which stopped our way eastward.
