He is fine and knows a great deal.
JULY 17- Sunday
An ideal Sunday- bright and clear after the light fog
lifted about 9 AM. The sea is a strange shade of lead gray and blue
looking, quite dark and very iridescent over the deep ice. The pans
were large and thick, showing new snow on all of them. All day head-
ing for Résolution Island- a barren, rocky, largely snow covered,
waste, rising in low rolling contour not higher than a thousand feet
at most, perhaps only five hundred. At evening, it is off our quar-
ter and we are heading N.W. up Hudson Strait.
A good breeze all day but we stuck to the engine. This
is a place of very high tides- about 28 feet- and the effect is most
amazing at a great distance from land. The water swirls around in
great eddies, swinging the ship with it in spite of her power and
rudder- large areas are amooth where the water seems as though boil-
ing over from a pot, to come upward and spread in all directions; and
where opposing currents meet, the waves clash together and spray is
thrown up in the air over areas of many yards, with a roaring noise
like surf. An unusual sight which lasts about fifteen minutes during
the change.
