in Peters Bay. All the stores deposited were taken on and in tlie 

 afternoon the tent was raised at Cape Rink. 



On May 20th, after depositing 10 cases of American dog-cakes 

 and a sledge-case at Cape Rink, the party drove on at 10 a. m. and 

 in the afternoon of the same day camped far to the north, up on Hoch- 

 stetters Forland. On the way they passed close to Ailsa Hill, which 

 Jarner climbed. 



Early in the morning of Мау 24th they reached Teufel Cape. 

 * On May 25th in the morning they camped on the ice between 

 Teufel Gape and the Orientering Island, a bear being shot there. 



On May 2eth they camped at Orientering Island and on 



May 27th the party arrived back at the ship. 



The expedition to Ardencaple Inlet had been exceedingly suc- 

 cessful. The two unknown inner branches of the fjord had been sur- 

 veyed and investigated. The geological booty of the journey was 

 very rich and the ethnographical results were also excellent. Lastly, 

 the hunting had been exceedingly good. Not only had the dogs been 

 kept alive, they actually returned to the ship in excellent condition. 



When Jarner set out, the general belief was, that he would be 

 obliged to shoot the dogs one by one and use them to carry out his 

 journey. Great was the rejoicing, therefore, when all the dogs re- 

 turned safely. All onboard felt closely bound to these excellent ani- 

 mals, which had been of such great use to the expedition. 



Finally, Jarner had been able to place the post in the depot 

 near Cape Philip Broke.
