Twer-oong aboard this Morning. She & her wing-a about to depart from here. Intend to start to-morrow. I invited my noble, good-hearted friend to participate with me in my breakfast. Her visit was a prolonged one. She seemed to sorrow in leaving me. Twer-oong feels that she will not live long. She comprehends the nature of her disease. She hardly can survive through this Winter. O, how my heart feels to think that soon I am to lose so dear a friend! Can I ever forget her?

Can I forget this angelic soul who cared for me, watching by my side when prostrated in my camp at the head of Frobisher Bay last Summer? God bless her whole living - & crown her with eternal glory when dead.

Yesterday, a woman's Boat (Oo-mi-er) was transported across the land between Rescue Bay & Frobisher Bay by means of sledge drawn by dogs. This skin boat wh. is of considerable greater capacity than a whale Boat, was taken from the Island near the vessel a few days since & drawn across the bay by dogs & left on the coast which we strike upon to make
