Therefore I adopt distance [from said Cape to Island where I made a change of Course] as in traverse table June 22d day of leaving ship on this trip to wit 1 498/1000 mile. Corresponding to this I make relative [[underlined]] division [[/underlined]] of time & distance [[underlined]] recorded [[/underlined]] giving each separated part its place - not changing in the least the actual distance made & noted in original log.
From Sing-eye-yen to tupiks (of E.& K.) & thence to Ship I adopt the Course made going out on rather [[underlined]] reverse Course [[/underlined]], my return being over same ground (or ice!) but I keep Log of distances ^[[between outward trip & return]] entirely distinct (save the performance as above).  The original Log changed to correspond to the slight change necessary to bring Courses to their proper places, would read thus: [[underlined]] start VIII - 00 [[/underlined]] - h VIII - m 30 even with Island where I change Course from 13[[degree symbol]] to 333[[degree symbol]]. Average speed to this s 13 292/1000 - Now Say, [[underlined]] Start VIII - 30 & Stop VIII - 40 [[/underlined]] having ^[[been for 10 minutes]] [[strikethrough]] made [[/strikethrough]] on Course 333[[degree symbol]] at average speed s 6 927/1000 & say [[underlined]] Start [[/underlined]] VIII - 45 &c [from hence adjusting the original Notes in Log] Say (by the by) Stop IX - 05 at Mt. Island (E side Rescue Harbor) where Commenced new & last Course (6[[degree symbol]]) direct for vessel & Stop h IX - m 05, Arrive to ship from thence in 40 Minutes, the time ^[[of my arrival]] by Chro. being h IX - m 45 (h IV - m 45 PM.)

Transcription Notes:
Note: Hall uses 'bet' to indicate when he is measuring or looking between two points, it really looks like 'but'; however, it is 'bet' to indicate between objects, very much like he used wh. for which and where [[Edited: easier to do than original transcription. Per instructions removed symbols and replaced with text. Added spaces between underlined and strikethrough text, validated some words and changed some from original transcription, removed end page not required on second page, other changes
