HEAVY RUNNING ICE.
Finally on September we squeezed
around Cape Union ana made fast IN
a shallow niche in the ice, but after
some hours we made another short
run to Black cape and hung on to a
grounded bit of ice. At last, little
after midnight of September s. we
passed through extremely heavy run
ming ice into stream Of open water,
rounded Cape Rawson and passed

reached the open water extending be-
yond Cape Sheridan.
We steamed up to the end Of it
and it appeared practicable at first to
reach Porter bay, near Cape Joseph
Henly, which I had for my winter
quarters, but the outlook being un-
satisfactory, I went back and put the

! foe, being barred close to the mouth
of the Sheridan river little north
of our position three years prior.

than in 1905; there was more snow
on the ground and the new ice inside

was commenced at once and rushed
to completion. The supplies and
equipment we sledged across ice and

and workshop were built of board,
covered with sails, and fitted with
) stoves, and the ship was snug for win

bottom at low tide.
