The wind during the night returned to the north-west quarter, blew more violently than ever, and raised a very turbulent sea.

The next day did not improve our condition, the snow remained on the ground, and the small pools were frozen.

Our hunters were sent out but they returned after a fatiguing day's march without having seen any animals.

We made a scanty meal off a handful of pemmican, after which only half a bag remained.
The wind abated after midnight and the surf diminished rapidly, which caused us to be on the alert at a very early hour on the 22nd, but we had to wait until six A.M.for the return of Augustus who had continued out all night on an unsuccessful pursuit of deer.

It appears that he had walked a few miles further along the coast than the party had done on the 18th and, from a sketch he drew on the sand, we were confirmed in our former opinion that the shore inclined more to the eastward beyond Point Turnagain.
