another half hour. The ice getting thicker all the time, finally
closed in--about 9 PM-- and we were beset. The ice was tight to
the ship and extended with no break in all directions. The fog
lifted some and we saw Cape Chiddey and the Button Islands, where
we were day before yesterday. Efidently drifted back in the ice
all day and yesterday and just made it up. Ran about on the ice
with Rufus and Henry until after midnight. The ice in massive,
irregular blocks, some white or brown with dirt, and iridescent
blue, are always in motion, churning and grinding round one an-
other. Lots of practice at runs- a run consisting of several
small cakes incapable of carrying our weight but which serve as
stepping stones if used with speed and good judgment. It is al-
most demned foolishness with the water at 29° and infinitely deep
so far as we are concerned; but I am still dry. Turned in at
12:30. As I lay in my bunk, I could hear the ice grating along
the side of the ship, less than a foot from me! This has been,
