4. 1893. October 10. In the tent 
on the ice. Ice to some extent in motion, 
so that the azimuth-observations could not 
be taken, The determination of the hori- 
zontal intensity was attempted by deflec- 
tions with the double needle as deflected 
magnet. The needle disturbed.

During the observations, a revolver, 
taken as a defence against bears, was 
stuck vertically into a hole in the ice just 
beneath the instrument. No deviation in 
the position of the free needle was ob- 
served, whether the revolver was there, or 
whether it was removed.
