VI - 15 Chrn having spent 2 glorious hours on it! 2 small Shoals (Isls)  near Kod-lu-narn but it & Niountelik 1/8 mile out. Covered by high tide - Nowyer shot just as we start out - But what of this to [[underlined]] the subject [[/underlined]]
of my visit to the island now just left? I must note [[underlined]] generalities [[/underlined]] leaving [[underlined]] particulars [[/underlined]] for the future - found here additional relics of past Age! found Iron - [[underlined]] one of the "heavy Stone" [[/underlined]] of wh. I had heard among the Innuits - found a piece weighing probably 20 lbs under the Stone that had been Excavated for the "Ship's way"! Before this however, found iron in small frag e mentary pieces [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] on the ground just at the head of the Ship Trench. I & Innuits gathered up a Mitten partly filled - gathered pieces of the tile wh are to be found here & there all over the Island  Gathered stone with Cement upon it at the Stone-House-remains in the top of the Island - tried hard to dig up the foundation that I might get several Stone cemented to-gether but found it too firm to yield to all ^[[my]] attempts.

Transcription Notes:
bY "C" I take it to mean "by Compass." Filling his mitten, see page 436 of Hall's book. After transcribing and review many pages it appears to me that some pages contain much the same subjects, names, etc., and it may be that some pages are re-writes or revisions/additions of prior pages? This seems esp true for discussion of Kodlunarn trenches, houses and stones.
