leunch and whale boat furnishing all the power under her stern. As
we moved along, the ice has a tendency to close in behind the vessel
and it is constant labor to keep the small boats clear and pushing
in the right direction and turning around to pull astern when
necessary. We were once within 400 yards of open water but before
we could make it, the tide and wind brought more ice down and it
was again solid to the land. Worked with about fifteen minutes res-
pite until seven in the evening. Then supper, and on for an hour
more. About 8:30 we were tightly closed in and all hands turned in
at once. Called out again a little after nine to push for two
hour S more. Turned in about twelve.
Today the sun came out for the first time since July
2nd. All afternoon and evening were the most gorgeous cloud and
sun effects on the snow-covered, jagged peaks along the shore. The
snow on them is fresh and white and they look as steep and rugged
as the rockies-and almost as high.
JULY 8- Friday
Under way about 10 o'clock; the same slow process
today in the hot sun. Lunch in shifts. We became stuck again about
two o'clock and soon all hands just saved the small boats from being
crushed between the pans. Turned right in, dead tired, and slept
until supper time. I never have worked so continuously and so hard
