I told her in continuation that Suk-e-ne-ung (the Sun) was getting higher & higher every day - that she must keep herself warm & dry & in [[underlined]] my [[/underlined]] opinion she would be much better, very soon. So caressingly did I finger the old lady's side during the delivery of my impromptu advice that she declared I was the best An-ge-Koo of her knowledge. She really felt better already! This was a [[underlined]] fee [[/underlined]] worth [[underlined]] working for! [[/underlined]] She re-[[underlined]] coated [[/underlined]] herself jumped up away. She went to her Igloo lively as a cricket! [[underlined]] Frobisher Bay Forever! [[/underlined]] Weather stormy to-day - toward eve growing cold. This night a gale.

Cold & strong breeze from [[space]] The sky darkened by thick, portentious clouds - yet we purpose to go in one hour from this (VIII O'Clk).

This is agreeable news. It will help us along much. I must here express my extreme disappointment on account the bad weather we have had since arriving here. I have had no chance to make the observations I designed. I must go with little to add to my journal. As I had not the time to sight & map the coast in coming up having started at so late an hour of the day, I proposed to do the work in returning. I designed also of sighting various points on Kin-gaite side - but that side is now all closed from view by thick weather. The hour of starting has come. We must away. Well we are back again whence we started. [[strikethrough]] Thursday Apr 25th [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] Wednes. Apr 24th Hall [[/insertion]] near noon. The village people of Sampson's settlement were all on the alert - all out to bid us good speed & Good bye. I made out to borrow several essentials to my protection if it proved a stormy & cold day.
