The anchor was up at 
A line had been made fast in the distance to the same Island to which Capt Tyson of Brig Georgiana ran lines at the time of his running onto the rocks on entering this Harbor.  By this, warping was commenced the only means of getting the "George Henry" out this morning in a calm.
This was slow work & of course it gave me ample time to make myself in all due readiness.
In my note of last eve, I wrote of Capt. B.'s intention of taking along some men Innuits & having them leave their wives here with others.  On their arrival yesterday, Capt. B. told them what he desired.  But the plan did not agree with their "notions" at all - they would not go unless he (Capt. B.) took along too their noo-loo-an-ars - then Capt. B. concluded to take Koo-jes-se & his Tu-nuk-de-lien;  Koo-per-neu-ung (Charley) & his Ark-Chin-e-zung; Kin-narl-u-ping ("Jim Crow") & his Ning-a-ar-lu-ping.

Koo-jes-se & Koo-per-neu-nug have wives that the An-Koote (An-n-ar-ping) is seeking to take to himself - consequently these gallant Innuits wish to keep their partners under their protection.
At [[space]] O'Clock AM having the remainder of my "trip" aboard the old, rotten, leaky ice beaten Whale Boat with which I am to make my voyage to the head of Frobisher Bay (if I make it at all) I shoved off from the G.H. leaving the little Innuit girl Oo-kod-lear & [[?Ar-nuk-en-zher]] ("Jennie") Ebeirbeing's sister (the former his neice) as crew to Whale Island.  At same time, "Sharkey" (Kar-ne-ung) & E-e-u-ar-ping, son of one of the men of the North, Artarkparu, shoved off with a Boat of Innuit women & children for same Island (Whale).  These two ("Sharkey" & E-e-u-ar-ping) are to remain here in this Bay providing for the women & children till Capt. B.'s return - time indeffinite.  E-e-u-ar-ping]is quite a young man, energetic full of go-[[?aheaditness]] - "a chip of the old block".  Capt. B. has given them powder shot-caps with which to seal, Duck or do any else
