vey work was to be carried on in the western pari- uf Duve Bay as 

 well as round Teufel Cape and Gape Peschel. 



The expedition, which took two sledges, consisted of Hendrik 

 Olsen, Charles Poulsen and G. Thostrup, with the last as leader. 



On October 28th at 10 a. m. the party set out along with Bertelsen 

 and Bistrup, who intended to do survey work in Mørke Fjord, and 

 Mylius-Erichsen and Wegener, who were going to Hvalrosodden 

 for the purpose of hunting. All 3 parties reached Hvalrosodden in 

 the afternoon. 



On the29th the parties separated, Hendrik Olsen, Charles Poul- 

 sen and G. Thostrup stood into the head of Dove Bay and down 

 along the mainland. For two days the expedition had to work its 

 way through deep and loose snow. In the ice here, iMuind abimt somi» 

 rocks, a number of seal breathing holes were seen. 



Several interesting geographical discoveries were also made. 

 It proved that Teufel Cape dirl not lie on the mainland, as supposed 

 by the Germans, but on an island. Several islands with intervening 

 water were discovered and it became clear, that a rich field lay here 

 for the cartographers, as the German chart, though good when the 

 circumstances under which it was drawn up are considered, required 

 to be amended in many respects. 



At Cape Peschel 1 sledge provision box and 1 roll of dried fisii 

 were placed in a depot. 



On November 3rd about 11 p. m. lln' party returned to the ship. 

 It had driven in a straight line from Cape Peschel over Lowards the 

 north point of Store Koldewey Island and on this stretch the sled- 

 ging was good the whole way. G. Thostrup had thus become con- 

 vinced, that this was the route which should be followed in future 

 excursions to Cape Peschel instead of along the mainland.
