From Cape Sabine north there was
so much water that we thought of set

wind. but n little later appearance OF
Ice TO the nortbward stopped this.
There was clean open water to Cape
Albert. and from there scattered ice
to a point about abreast OF Victoria
Head. thick weather and dense ice

further north and stopped again for
some hours Then we again worked
westward and northward till we
reached series of lakes. coming to

working along in search of a practi-

The fog lifted there and enabled us
TO make out our whereabouts and we
steamed north through a series OF leads

Off that cape we were stopped by Inn
practicable ice. and we drifted back
south to Cape Union, where we stopped
again.

hours we made another short run TO
Black cape and hung on to grounded
bit OF Ice. Al last a little after mid
night OF September s, we passed through
extremely heavy running ice into
