The floes rise and fall with the surge of the sea.

We evidently are drifting with the surface current, for all the heavier masses of floe, bergs, and hummocks are being left behind.

There has been some discussion in the camp as to the advisability of making one of the bergs our home for the time being and drifting with it to the west.

The idea is not sound.

I cannot be sure that the berg would drift in the right direction.
