E. B. Delabarre, Ph. D. 75 



July 29. — Light winds. Remain at anchor and get 

 wood. Much trouble from mosquitoes. 



July 30. — Almost calm. Drift on to Pomiadluk Point, 

 making only 10 miles in the entire day. Climb mountain 

 above the Point, and establish its height as 1,170 feet. Many 

 interesting geological features here — roches montomiees, con- 

 glomerates, lunoid markings, etc. 



July 31. — No wind. Remain at anchor. 



August I. — Still calm. Make about three miles in eight 

 hours. 



August 2. — Weigh anchor 10.30. Tow out off Pomi- 

 adluk Point, and thence, with occasional light winds but 

 mostly calms, make slow and slight progress. At midnight 

 drifting off Cape Mokkovik. 



August 3. — Anchor, because of contrary winds, in Sum- 

 mer Cove, Aillik Bay, at 6 a. m. Distance from last anchor- 

 age, 14 miles. Adams, Daly, and Delabarre, attempting to 

 land in the surf on a distant part of the shore, are dashed onto 

 hidden reefs and wreck their rowboat. Are later rescued by 

 fishermen who happen by. Boat is recovered and repaired 

 the following day. Small auroral display in the even- 

 ing. 



August 4, 5. — Lack of wind during the morning of the 

 4th and probability of its continuance, together with general 

 disinclination of our crew to sail on Sundays, decide us to 

 remain here two days, explore Mokkovik Bay, and attempt 

 to climb Mt. Altagaiyaivik (otherwise known as Mt. Misery 

 or Monkey Hill, 2,170 feet). Mokkovik Bay is badly and 

 variously charted, and it was uncertain how far it might 

 extend inland, and whether or not it might interfere with 

 our attempt to reach the mountain. Bigelow, Delabarre,
