This Morning I wrote long letter to Capt. B. giving him account of my return - the reasons & the News in general.  The Innuits with teams started at 12 o'clock M. - gave him statement of my attempt to explore toward entrance to this Bay. - of my hopes to see him at Og-Bisn-Seer-O-pring in few days.
Tuk-oo-h-tu caught a fall down our steps leading from the gang way to the ice to-day.  Any one coming up or going down said steps have to "look out."  The step-ladder is too short with nearly an empty ship to meet the ice consequently Pork barrells have been brought into use to lengthen it out.  They nock together ^[[as]] a ship in a storm when humanity is upon them.  The [[strikethrough]] [[?]] swing was too great for T. so down she went.  [[Annuasbring?]] & 2 wives off to-day for OoKoodlewr the 2 wives drawing sledge, like dogs.
