27/V 
Cover of clouds 1, stratus beneath the sun; calm. 
The determination of latitude seems to have failed altogether, 
though the reason of this cannot be decided. 
1.30 p.m. Started. Course towards south. The going terribly‘) 
heavy. ToBias and I used our skis to great advantage. Stopped at 
11 a.m. after having covered a distance of 27.5 km. 
The weather: cloudy during the whole of the journey; cover of 
clouds 6—8, cumulus. The wind variable, velocity 0—2 т. Towards 
9 p.m. it began to look like a storm. The wind became northerly, 
but the storm did not break. In the course of the night a light 
snow drift. 
BERTELSEN and I are still unwell, though I think I am recovering 
a little, but I am terribly tired. Besides my gums are sore so that 
I have great difficulty in chewing this beastly musk ox meat, which 
circumstance, of course, does not improve my digestion. Also BERTEL- 
SEN and I are suffering from itch, BERTELSEN all over his body, I 
across the loins”). Tosras is a little snow blind to-day; I hope he 
will soon recover. 
Determination of time 27/V 07, afternoon, 0, В = 782, Ё = ~49.

1) This strong expression is only justified, when one makes allowance for the 
fever and our otherwise weakened condition. We drove on unbroken, smooth 
ice, covered with deep, loose snow. 
2) At the time we thought that this itching was due to our illness, and so we 
did not at once investigate the matter. A few days afterwards we discovered 
that we were very much infested with parasites.
