Some of the men went out to hunt but they saw no other animal than a white wolf which could not be approached.

The fresh meat being expended a little pemmican was served out this evening.
The gale abated on the morning of the 9th and the sea, which it had raised, having greatly subsided, we embarked at seven A.M.and, after paddling three or four miles, opened Sir J.A.

Gordon's Bay into which we penetrated thirteen miles and then discovered from the summit of a hill that it would be in vain to proceed in this direction in search of a passage out of the inlet.
Our breakfast diminished our provision to two bags of pemmican and a single meal of dried meat.

The men began to apprehend absolute want of food and we had to listen to their gloomy forebodings of the deer entirely quitting the coast in a few days.

As we were embarking however a large bear was discovered on the opposite shore which we had the good fortune to kill, and the sight of this fat meat relieved their fears for the present.
