1861 July 29 Mond. who knew their lives are endangered by this Ankoot that will even execute [[underlined]] their reward [[/underlined]] upon this evil doer.

Mate Rogers started back from the point where he left his Boat load of "ship's stuff" & where are Gardiner, Lamb & the 2 Boats Crews. A fleet of Boats is yet to come. He expects to return to the vessel to-night, & supposes that the others will accompany. Koo-jes-se & the other Innuits did not come up yesterday. They are expected to-day. They (the Innuits) are to bring up in a Whale Boat all their Tupiks & "traps", wives & children. Capt. B. told me to-day that he thought it probable he should start with "George Henry" for Frobisher Bay to-morrow. In that case I get my things in readiness this P.M. & to-night to live an Innuit life with the Innuits for the next few months. In a short time - say within two or 3 days I with my native crew [[end page]] [[start page]] 1861 July 29 Mond. depart for the exploration of Frobisher Bay. May it be that I shall return with such success as I hope for. God willing & helping, I shall go to the head of Frobisher Bay before I return - perhaps shall also cross over to Kin-gaite land of [[strikethrough]] eternal [[/strikethrough]] ice-everlasting - mountains of ice! Before VI this eve, Rogers with loaded boat & crew returned. He says that Lamb & Gardiner with their laden boats & cornmash will be home to-night. The way has opened since R. 1st came up so that the passage is now made by open water. Were L. & G. here, Capt. B. would up anchor & start at once. I am gathering up what I intend to take on my exploring expedition & taking the same over to Whale Island. Tuk-oo-li-too, Kood-loo & his noo-li-an-a were brought over from the Island this P.M. - the former says that her wong-a (E.) is very sick & was so through the night. I visited him this eve & found him prostrate with (what I think) Pleurisy the result of his exposure to wind & rain on the late trip with R. up F. Bay.
