I 2 -
While ashore I had obtained one or two glimpses eastward
through the occasionally lifting clouds and fog and apparently thee
was no ice as far as Bushnan I.
With sanguine feelings which the extremely disagreeable
weather could not materially affect we steamed in the teeth of the
gale across C. York Bay to the islands; along them and the main
a
shore, then into Sainksooh Bay still without encountering ice.
As we approached the familiar little eastern arm, the winters ice
was seen stretching entirely across the bay, and it looked as if
after getting thys far we were yet to be stopped several miles
from the object of our visit.
But Captain Bartelett's keen eyes detected a lead some
distance up the Bay and going around Knob I. we gained this lead
and after ramming the Kite her length into the edge of the land
floe put out the ice hooks and made her fast, a mile from the shore.
Accompanied by Captain Bartlett and Mr. Diebitsch, each armed with
a boat hook to assist in crossing the leads and pools of water we
went over the side, crossed the ice passed up the little valley
and once more I stood beside the famous meteor.
With the snow now malted away from the meteor and its
surroundings, it was possible to obtain a clear idea of the dif-
ficulties incident to the transporting the great mass to the ship.
