Galle and I went sealing to day in a lead about
2 miles S. W. of camp. It is so wide that ice
could not be seen on the other side. On our

one which floated rapidly East to some young
ice where we could not get at it. At this
time a gale suddenly arose from the North
with heavily drifting snow and we were
forced to return to camp. The blow lasted until
8 P. M. this eve ning but it is now calm
& nearly clear. We saw several fox tracks
along the edge of the lead, but no bear tracks.
Will try our luck again tomorrow. The
