The following observations were obtained: latitude 68 degrees 18 minutes 50 seconds North, longitude 110 degrees 5 minutes 15 seconds West, but 109 degrees 25 minutes 00 seconds West was used in the construction of the chart as the chronometers were found, on our return to Hood's River, to have altered their rates; variation 44 degrees 15 minutes 46 seconds East and dip of the needle 89 degrees 31 minutes 12 seconds.
On August 18th, the stormy weather and sea continuing, there was no prospect of our being able to embark.

Dr.Richardson, Mr.Back, and I therefore set out on foot to discover whether the land within a day's march inclined more to the east.

We went from ten to twelve miles along the coast, which continued flat, and kept the same direction as the encampment.

The most distant land we saw had the same bearing north-north-east, and appeared like two islands which we estimated to be six or seven miles off; the shore on their side seemingly tended more to the east so that it is probable Point Turnagain, for so this spot was named, forms the pitch of a low flat cape.
Augustus killed a deer in the afternoon but the men were not able to find it.

The hunters found the burrows of a number of white foxes and Hepburn killed one of these animals, which proved excellent eating, equal to the young geese with which it was boiled and far superior to the lean deer we had upon the coast.
