set in. At 4.30 p.m. everything was hidden by the fog; the wind 
was shifting and very faint. | 
How worn out we were by the journey to Peary Land appears 
most clearly from the fact, that after a three days’ snowstorm, when 
we had spent most of our time in the sleeping bags, we were 
extremely sleepy and indolent, so that only by exerting all our 
energy were we able to fetch the musk oxen and skin and quarter 
them. Our indolence now happily seems gone. The easy day’s 
march of 30km has done us good. BERTELSEN seems cured of his 
snow blindness — he has been let off easily. 
The weather still unchanged. All through the night we have 
had fog and calm, and this still holds good now at 8.30 a. m. 
We have had nothing to eat but the meat of musk oxen for 
four days. I am sick of it, and so is BERTELSEN. The stench of 
the half-rotten meat, which takes up one fourth of our tent, per- 
haps contributes towards disgusting us with it. The dogs smell 
abominably. 
Started at 10.45 а. т. The fog partly lifted at 12 (noon). Lati- 
tude at noon 82°51. The course had been west, distance made 
4.7 km. Continued in a westerly direction towards land at 1.30 р. m., 
with a course of !/s point (5 degrees) to the north of the direction 
at Point 211). With this course we reached the coast 14.8 km + 2 lo 
from our noon position. We reached the coast at the northern 
part of an ingoing small curve, from which the coast extended in 
$ 65 E—N 25 W. Point 21 is found in direction $ 60 W. The mountain 
range on which Point 21 is situated stretches inland in a direction 
М 80 W. The breadth of the foreland is 1 to 2 kilometres. At 
6.15 р. m. hodometer distance since we reached the coast 7 km + 2 lo. 
The direction has not been N 25 W; this was only in the beginning. 
The main direction of the last 7 kilometres is N40 W. From Point 21 
or a few kilometres more to the north the coast seems to form a 
large bay, which again appears to extend in a northern direction, 
as far as the northern part of Wyckoff Land. The depth of the bay 
is hardly more than 4km. The southern part of this bay has a 
little fjord, with a direction N by E--S by W; it is only about 21/2 km 
broad at the mouth and about 10 km long. It seems to run in west 
of Point 21?). 
1) Kap Clarence Wyckoff. 
2) These obscure, mutually contradictory remarks were written down during the 
sledge journey, point by point, according as I could form an idea of what I 
saw. Now, I suppose, it is only possible to understand them when, with the 
sketch-map before one, one imagines oneself following our route past Kap 
Clarence Wyckoff; on the other hand I had, of course, no difficulty in under-
