14th Enc. 23d Day Out

Commence to cross Channel but not at right angles with it.  In crossing see 2 Ook-gook.
Stop hVII-m18 at Point of Island right [[strikethrough]] left [[/strikethrough]] hand side Channel going out.
Here we are to await the coming up of the other Boat.  In the meantime I go upon the top of the Island, while the hunters with their arms wander away to seek Took-too, the female portion of the crew being left in charge of the Boat.  The tide is now nearly up & it is to be regretted we cannot at once proceede to Ag-goun but "large bodies move slow": - so the old [[?saw]] goes.

Now on top of Island

From Point where I now stand I can see the whole Head of Frobisher Bay! extruding from Sylvia Grinnel river to Ag-goun [[strikethrough]] N.S. [[/strikethrough]] W. side, or by Kin-gaite.  From appearance think it to be full 15 miles across.  Its termination is not by deep Bays - Fiords - but apparently nearly square across.

Now I proceede to Another Point on Peak of the Island.
