This was a surprise, as we had. not expected to find the cairn 
in so southerly a place — 82°58'.4, but at the same time it was a 
solemn moment. We had now got so far as we were to go according 
to our instructions, and yet it looked as if we might get a few days’ 
march further and finish PEAry’s observations. Solemn also it was 
to come across the traces of the famous American explorer and to 
hold his autograph in our hands. The flag was brought out and 
fastened to the cairn, in order to express our mood. The cairn and 
flag were photographed. BERTELSEN made two sketches.
