Got under way at 7.30 a.m. A fine day of brilliant sunshine but cold
(-30˚ at starting, -40˚ end of march)
Light N.E. air very biting dogs smoking. Heaviest march yet a of recent
ones.
At first much recent ice (1 ft.) raftered more or less then heavy rubble
under deep snow. A few level old floes.
Reach Captain's camp in 6 hours among small very heavy old floes
raftered all along edges (12 miles)
As he had been in his igloo only some 3 hours when I arrived told him to
turn in & sleep more & get under way about
