 Cove, on north side of West Bay, just to the south of the 

 entrance to Hamilton Inlet. Much scattered ice. Distance, 

 42 miles. 



July 22, 23. — At Pottle's Cove. Delayed one day by fog" 

 and unfavorable wind, the next by a desire to continue ob-

 only ones of any extent in Labrador. Daly discovers glacial 

 striae, the first evidences of glaciation he has found.

 run to Ice Tickle, between Ice Tickle Island and Rodney 

 Mundy Island, 21 miles, from 6.30 to 10.15 a. m. Little ice 

 passed, much visible ahead. Wind being also against us, 

 further progress through the narrow channels is impossible. 

 Our first display of aurora borealis in the evening. Explore 

 neighboring islands and visit Indian Harbor. 



July 25. — Contrary winds. Remain at anchor. 



July 26. — Make short run of only nine miles, because of 

 shifting of wind to the north. Anchor in Sloop Harbor, be- 

 tween Brig Harbor Island and Sloop Island. Very little ice 

 visible.

 to 9.15 p. M., passing Cape Harrison, and make 51 miles. 

 Anchor in Jigger Island Tickle, No ice encountered. 



July 28. — Fog and unfavorable winds. Run 32 miles 

 from 1 1 A. M. to 9.25 p. M. Little ice. Anchor in an un-

 on account of the experiences of the following day, name it 

 Mosquito Bight.
