40 THE LOG OF THE 



The entrance to Segiek is right under a high vertical cUfF. The 

 chart gives its height at a thousand feet. Three or four dark dykes 

 showed up very clearly on the surface of the rock. Since there is no 

 chart of the bay we had a man aloft as we ran in looking for an 

 anchorage. On the left as you go in just behind the first hill is a 

 beautiful, smooth place like a great U-shaped trough. Evidently 

 some small glacier came down there and had scooped out a clear 

 track down to the main fjord. We had not run in five miles when 

 we sighted the masts of two "green fishers" in the little bay on the 

 right. We ran over and dropped anchor in lo fathoms mud bottom.

 The other, an old "hard looking vessel," had been here some time. 

 The men came aboard and we had a long talk and smoke on deck. 

 They claim that there is salmon in the bay. Time and again we 

 could not help smiling when they would come out with the good 

 old Newfoundland reply, "Yes sir, that's what she is."

 one of the fishermen came aboard bringing the connecting rod of his 

 engine broken off an inch or more from the upper bearing. It looked 

 hopeless at first sight but the engine was very important for the poor 

 fellows' fishing and the four of us put our heads together and de- 

 cided we could try and patch it up. While we were at work, Woody 

 went ashore and collected plants and Bart and Johnny filled the water 

 kegs from a little stream which ran right through a large snow drift. 

 It took until two o'clock to get the two pieces together. All this 

 time we worked with the utmost speed and efficiency. It was a
