tide goes back inland for several miles. Larry determined the max-
imum tidefall at twenty-two feet. At Camp Walcott it was twenty-six
feet.

I turn in. A can of sterno has taken the chill off our tent and it
is very comfortable, even on solid rock.
AUGUST 26- Friday
(7 PM)
We set out from the camp at Cleft Rock three
days ago in a good gale that rocked the whaleboat end over end all
morning. We went through ice several times but it was never very
heavy and we made a good run- slept on a beach that night. Going
on the next day (yesterday) we reached our cache at Cape Dorches-
ter last night, and it was a welcome sight. A note was there
awaiting us with news that the MORRISSEY, after being stuck in
ice off Spicer Islands and going aground on the east side of Fox
Basin, had been here five days ago and started for Spicer Island
again. We camp hereuntil Larry can get the best observations pos-
sible to determine the latitude and longitude of this point, for
there are to be some radical changes in the map of this part of
the country.
