At last, on Friday, July 13th, the way before us lay clear, 

 and we crossed to the Labrador coast, making our first an- 

 chorage that evening in St. Lewis Sound, between Hare 

 Island and Little Caribou — a run of 43 miles. We went 

 ashore at once on Great Caribou Island and made botanical 

 and geological observations. Almost every subsequent
