[Top page blank.]          8 m.                                                 22 d. Monday, Mar. 15 Marvin brought ample supply alcohol & oil, some pemmican, biscuit & milk, enabling me to leave this camp with 12 fully loaded sledges. MacMillan shows me his frosted heel & I send him back at once, with Kyutah, Teuchingwah, 2 sledges & 14 dogs. 2 sledges left here 2 or 3 broken up to repair others. Cold march with light but bitter e-ly [easterly?] air. Heavy ice, fair going. Late in day movement of ice very perceptible. An active lead compels detour to west, & an hour or 2 later, a just formed one halts us, & compels us to build igloos, though I know Henson's igloo must be close by. [Vertically in margin:] Temp. as we camp - 50˚.
