We have had now two days of warm weather, but there is yet no hope of getting our steamboat off.

Day before yesterday we went to 'Sconset to see the English steamer.

She lay so near the shore that we could hear the orders given, and see the people on board.

When we went down the bank the boats were just pushing from the shore, with bags of coal.

They could not go directly to the ship, but rowed some distance along shore to the north, and then falling into the ice drifted with it back to the ship.
