The land hence to Cape Fairweather is near the shore low, heavily wooded, and curves in making a shallow bay with even shore & evenly low hilly land behind. Two glaciers on Pt Fairweather are [[insertion]] [[?]] [[/insertion]] coming to the sea. Two north of Icy Cape and five in [[Littuga?]] make nine, one in  small gorge in bight behind Cape Fairweather and then a very large one [[margin]] 3 miles wide in front [[/margin]] with a gap in the mountains NW by N 1/2 N with a low narrow strip of shore & trees, then a low point & bunch of Mts not high [[insertion]] behind [[/insertion]] on the other side is Dry Bay. Tevenkoff gives a very poor idea of it. La Perouse is much better. Water discolored ten miles off shore from Cape Fairweather. See herring & whales. 
Crest of Mt Fairweather shouldered on each side. Evening see St Elias 40' high. Weather clear, wind fresh North west.
