A cold, rainy morning, with nothing to do, so spent the
time sleeping. In the afternoon it cleared up and was beautifully
calm as we passed Cape Mugford, Nanuktut. Very steep, dark rocks
rising high out of the water. We sailed, or rather motored, close
under them. Low horizontal clouds later came down over their tops,
making a very curious but beautiful effect- nothing visible over
about 200 or 300 feet high.
JULY 2- Saturday
Cold and rainy most of the day. Off a steep, rocky
coast all covered with snow, which looked very fresh on the peaks,
when they appeared now and then among the low clouds. Very thick
ice about noon and we bumped and crunched about quite a bit The
sea cleared up about id-afternoon and now there are but a few
bergs in sight. We are off Cape Chedleigh, the end of the Labrador
Coast and at the entrance to Hudson Strait.
Temperatures taken this afternoon showed air to be 39°,
water 30°; today our radio received report of a heat wave at home--
95° in Battle Creek.
Slept all morning and part of the afternoon, as there
was nothing else to do. Read some more of Captain Lyon's Journal.
In 1821, they were at the entrance to Hudson Strait on July 2nd.
In 1631, Luke Fox was at this same point on June 22nd. Fog settled
