A busy day. tried to get off at 8.15, was nearer 8:30 [[insertion]] or 9 [[/insertion]] before we got away to pick up trap set into Bonaparte Inlet in 4 fms. It was stuck and a small berg that had blown into inlet may have wedged it tight to bottom. We worked over it quite a while without success and then [[strikethrough]] hea [[/strikethrough]] landed party on Pt site area to walk around & view sites and birds.  Few birds, one of few seal (would all desert if buildings were constructed) one of roughest rockiest places imaginable. Inlet too narrow, and no wider than ice cliff to left going in is high. 

We returned to ship for lunch & before going for traps at 2 p.m.  ^[[insertion, line bringing text from lower paragraph]] Had to ferry shore (survey) party to inlet & transfer those there to another point at head of inlet. headed for trap site of    Id.  On way photo'd ice berg with "arch." [[/insertion]] Got too rough to pull them so we went back to Bonaparte Inlet. ^ [[insertion, line bringing test from final paragraph]] Here we again tackled trap we could not lift in a.m.; & [[insertion]] in p.m. [[/insertion]] after an hour's work [[strikethrough]] got [[/strikethrough]] and many tosses of grapnel got a much crushed trap aboard.
