Day clear and fine. Fresh breeze from the NW. Beating up the coast toward Cross Sound. The outer coast of Chichagoff Id is fringed with small long islands. Britton is wrongly placed in the Coast Survey chart. The bearings do not agree well along the coast. Land less ragged
than at Sitka. more low land well timbered.
