Two slightly rolling days and we saw our last of Hudson
Strait. The nights were gorgeous- clear skies, dotted with stars,
while to the north the moon sat and made its gleaming path in to us
over the oily swells--and the shadows of the rigging against the
sails were black and wierd. But this was the least part: From the
dome overhead, extending down over half the sky, were the ever
shifting spectral curtains of the aurora. What a sight they are
up here as their pale deathlike green glow spreads and contracts
again in restless streamers, often with glowing red on the edges.
It is a sight that has no equal nor anything even to compare it
tc. They kill the efficiency of the radio.
SEPTEMBER 23- Friday
Out of Hudson Strait and down beyond Mugford, the swell
was tremendous- the remnants of a great storm the week before. All
susceptible hands were under the weather and our progress was dis-
couraging. Twenty miles or less a day. The first calm day was
beautiful and warm. Many pictures were taken on deck, then George
and Barney and I shaved our three months beards. We afforded
amusement to all the ship and of course look entirely different.
Yesterday, we stopped at Turnavik again. There were
several families there now and many split cod out drying on the
rocks. It is certainly the most unique place on the Labrador !
