At 1 p.m. the wind subsided gradually. At 9 p.m. it was nearly 
calm. At the same time the direction became more westerly; per- 
haps due west. The sky became overcast, the sun disappeared, so 
that there was no determination for time at6 p.m. From 9 p.m. 
the stratum of clouds (perhaps alto-cumulus — I lay in the sleeping 
bag, and only now and then peeped through the tent opening) 
began to disperse. It cleared up in NW. At 10 p.m. the sun 
appeared. 
During our sleep to-day the dogs have, in spite of the BRONLUND 
sledge arrangements, succeeded in eating seven sledge lashings and 
quite a new front rope. The meal given to them at the end of the 
march had been rather scanty, consisting of three pemmican cakes 
and the dog bitten to death by its comrades. 
Commenced the measuring of Peary Land at midnight. Calm: 
cover of clouds 2; stratus, clear, calm air. We lay on the ice about 
5 to 7 km from land’), and after the observation we made ready to 
deposit the provisions, dogs’ feed and the goods which we did not 
intend to take north. 
1) The distance to the nearest land was in reality about 16 km.
