[[/insertion]] 3 p.m. For a time it looked as though helicopter flight would not be made high winds. However Berg got ashore & Jack went along brought back some fossil shell matrices & sea weed from shore latter had nothing in it. Commodore also brought some weed plus sand sample for Art. & red over-lay on stream bed [[strikethrough]] d [[/strikethrough]] sand. Two dredge hauls were made while lying to in ice, both similar, and though not a wealth of material did net us some unique things. Pebbles, gravel small rocks and sand interlaced with fine worm tubes Ice conditions bad, & the Tubular Bergs immense, and in all directions one after the other.
