Obn made on Landing (Isd 20th Enc) awaiting the coming up of the other boat.
[[symbol: circumpunct]] Marked Mt. on Kingaite side ([[symbol: circumpunct]] marked yesterday P.M.)  Az Compass  [[checkmark]] 95°
Peak Mt of Island on wh. I & Koo-jes-se was on one hour since  [[checkmark]] 77°

As we cannot cross Large Bay by wh. we are now encamped (20th Enc.) for the reason of high wind, "White Caps" &c both Boats & parties are to remain here to-day & to-night.  A Storm is upon us.  
Not a chance for a single observation for Lat. since Leaving 16th Enc.!  Too bad, but all right.
Koo-per-neu-ung shot a rabbit this P.M. on the Island - a beautiful looking animal with its winter dress on.  Snow white fur.  Last eve he shot one or two (two I believe yesterday) Nowyers.  The number of these game birds my party (of 3 hunters) has killed
