River volume measurements were taken in the Goose River, and the spring freshet 

 channel into Terrington Basin examined and measured. On the 8th, Coachman, Park, 

 Lidicker, and Tangerman left with Harvey Montague to make river volume measurements 

 of the Kenamu, Hamilton and North West Rivers. 



July 9th: In getting underway from Terrington Basin, the anchor fouled an old 

 mooring chain on the bottom and considerable delay was encountered before it was 

 cleared and recovered. The vessel proceeded to North West River where rendezvous 

 was made with the river volume survey party. 



July 10th was spent at North West River while a party consisting of Wilcox, 

 Tangerman, Miller, and Campbell with Harvey Montague and his boat went to make an 

 oceanographic examination of Grand Lake. It is of interest to note that at three 

 stations the depth was greater than two hundred meters, the length of wire available 

 on the reel. 



July 11th: The Grand Lake p"arty returned at 0300, and at 1050 final departure 

 was taken from North West River for northern Labrador. Anchorage for the night was 

 taken in Collingham's Cove just outside the Narrows. 



3. Northern Labrador, Nain to Saglek, July 12th to August l8th : 



The passage north was uneventlful and made as rapidly as possible with no stops 

 except to lie up for the few hours of darkness at night. Fog caused a little delay 

 at Cape Harrison and at the Ironbound Islands, but on July 15th the Port Manvers 

 area was reached and reconnaissance survey operations commenced. - 



July l6th and 17th: In magnificent weather, these days were spent running 

 offshore sounding tracks between Port Manvers and Saglek. Anchored during the nights 

 at Hebron. 



July l8th: After four days of unbroken good weather, the first northeaster of 

 the season with rain all day and a moderate gale during the evening forced the vessel 

 to remain at anchor. 



July 19th: The gale moderated. In view of the huge sea running offshore and in 

 the fjord entrance, both sounding and oceanographic operations were carried out with- 

 in Hebron Fjord where good working conditions were found. Difficulty was encounter- 

 ed with the main engine and during the evening number one cylinder head was replaced. 



July 20th: Commenced offshore sounding operations, but continued main engine 

 difficulties forced a return to the harbor. The launch carried out inshore sound- 

 ings off the entrance to Iterungnek. A piece of electric light blub was located in 

 the lube oil scavenging pump which had been blocking the pump and causing the lube 

 oil pressure failure. It was also discovered that a spring was missing from number 

 one fuel pump. This caused improper operation of number one cylinder all summer. 



July 21st: In the morning, main engine repairs and adjustments were completed. 

 Then soundings were made in the approaches to Hebron during the afternoon and even- 

 ing. 



July 22nd and 23rd: Sounding operations were carried out between Hebron and 

 Saglek, and three oceanographic stations off the entrance t r Hebron Fjord were 

 occupied in fine weather.
