Approximate area 62-05 64-50 to southern tip Loks Land to 62-35 65-05 to 

 62-15 65-55 across mouth Frobisher Bay cover varies from less than 1/20 to 

 broken strip 100 to 200 yards wide along southern edge with 8/10 cover, 

 average cover 2/10. Ice apparently drifts across bay from around southern 

 tip Loks Land. 



Scattered seaward from headlands Resolution Island and Loks Land. 64 

 bergs and many growlers from line north tip Resolution Island to south 

 tip Loks Land up Frobisher Bay to Gabriel Island. 25 bergs and many 

 growlers from Gabriel Island to line 10 miles north of Chase Island. 



Frobisher Bay above island barrier clear. Broken field ice 1/10 to 3/10 

 cover near mouth of Frobisher Bay. 



61-05 63-30, 62-05 64-35, 62-15 64-55. 



Narrow string 5 miles off Big Island from 69-50 W., through 62-45 72-20. 

 Light ice rapidly deteriorating. Along east coast Southampton Island 

 in Foxe Channel with outer limits 65-00 82-35 to 64-52 80-40 to 63-55 

 79-00 to 63-18 79-45 to 63-15 80-15 to beach at Native Point. 10/10 

 cover through center becoming light around edges. The approaches to 

 Coral Harbor, Southampton Island, free of floating ice of any consequence. 



43 along north shore Hudson Strait between Gabriel Strait and Cape Wer- 

 mouth. 7 inshore from southeast tip Big Island. 



Approaches to Padloping Island clear. 



No field ice in Baffin Bay in vicinity Padloping Island. 



SEPTEMBER 



No field ice in Baffin Bay along line Padloping Island to Sondrestrom Fjord. 



Cumberland Sound packed tightly to eastern shore. Scattered through 

 most of area from head of sound to entrance. 



No field ice within limits of visibility entire area from Koksoak River past 

 Akpatok Island to north shore. Frobisher Bay clear.

 fil-51 68-23, 61-53 68-11, 61-55 68-52, 3 inshore at north tip .\kpatok 

 Island, over 100 along south shore Baffin Island between approximately 

 67 W., and 69 W. 



Cumberland Sound — considerable field ice, evidently drifts from side to side 

 with shifting winds. No field ice within any fjords on east coast of Baffin 

 Island between Cape Searle and River Clyde. Area up to 50 or 60 miles 

 off shore completely clear of field ice north past 71-20 N. No field ice 

 visible from headlands at River Clyde since mid-August. Hudson Bay 

 Company's ship, Nascopie, had managed entrance to Fort Ross and was 

 due at Arctic Bay on this date. 



Scattered throughout Cumberland Sound. Few scattered through fjord 

 around and above Padloping Island. Approximatey 500 bergs counted 

 along coast between Cape Searle and River Clyde mostly within 30 miles 

 of beach but a few scattered off shore to over 50 miles seaward. 



Loose pack ice in Lancaster Sound. No other field ice encountered by 

 A^ascoWc from Arctic Bay to River Clyde. 



Light ice forming upper Forbisher Bay during calms, breaking and melting 

 with ensuing winds. 



Some very light ice persisting in sheltered bays and coves of Frobisher Bay, 

 otherwise entire area from upper Frobisher Bay past Resolution Island 

 and Cape Chidley and southward along Labrador coast is free of all winter 

 and field ice. 



Few small bergs remaining Frobisher Bay mostly aground amongst the islands 

 or in the fjords on west side of bay. Several large bergs scattered east 

 and northeast of Resolution Island but weather limited visibility. Many 

 smaller bergs scattered along east shore Resolution Island and through the 

 strait to south and west.
