Thermometer at six P.M.32 degrees.
Showers of snow fell without intermission through the night but they ceased in the morning and we set out at the usual hour.

The men were very faint from hunger and marched with difficulty, having to oppose a fresh breeze and to wade through snow two feet deep.

We gained however ten miles by four o'clock and then encamped.

The canoe was unfortunately broken by the fall of the person who had it in charge.

No tripe de roche was seen today but in clearing the snow to pitch the tents we found a quantity of Iceland moss which was boiled for supper.
