calf, but the meat had gone to Camp Lloyd and 

 had already in considerable part been eaten. It 

 appears now that winter has already struck. The 

 air is cold and raw and snow lies on the hills in the 

 morning. We hurry out making the entire dis- 

 tance to Camp Lloyd under heavy packs and in 

 two treks of ten miles each. On the second day 

 we reached Dory Landing at 3:15 in the afternoon 

 to find the tide gone out. Owing to the depletion 

 of our stores at Camp 2 we are now without 

 food although we are very hungry. We packed 

 our bedding and made the additional three miles 

 to Camp Lloyd. Belknap and Herz because of 

 this lack of food had to come back after dark the 

 same day and bring in the dory with the residue 

 of our packs. 



They started out in the motor canoe, but the 

 water was so rough that it was necessary to put 

 in to shore at the beach east of Point Emmons and 

 there leave the canoe. They then continued over 

 the trail and managed with great difficulty to find 

 it in the dark. It was also extremely difficult for 

 them in the dark to launch the dory and find all 

 the materials for its load. They then had further 

 difficulty in finding Camp Lloyd because of the 

 darkness, and altogether they had a very trying 

 night.
