A day that [[underlined]] will live [[/underlined]] in my memory. O that I had a [[underlined]] Daguerreotype [[underlined]] of this day's scene ^[[such]] as [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] has transpired under my eye. As might well be anticipated by any one reading my notes of yesterday, I have had [[underlined]] strange experiences [[/underlined]] with the Innuits of my Company to-day. It remains for me to condence & record them. - It was after 12 (midnight) when I laid my self down - not to sleep but keep [[underlined]] "watch" [[/underlined]]. I ^[[have]] had reason for suspecting that one [[strikethrough]] of [[/strikethrough]] or 2 of my Co. have been practicing the thieving act by accessing in the midst of the short nights we are now having unscrewing the lid of my provision box & stealing from it. I felt determined that another attempt should be met my catching the evil doer at it. But Sleep finally stole over me - the result I found to be on arising this Morning, that nearly half of the little bread I had was gone! - besides quite a quantity of the ^[[remaining]] Pemican missing. - I said nothing though I felt [[underlined]] troubled [[/underlined]] in Soul. - As purposed, on getting up made preparations for starting on my flying trip. Comporting to my anticipations "Jennie"'s conduct during all the time of these preparations ^[[were going on]] was such that told me she was determined to go too.  When the sledge nearly loaded, I went to Koo-jes-se & asked him if "Jennie" was really going with us? He answered: 'yes'. I then called Sharkey into Igloo & talked with him. He acted the noble part he acquired in my wishes by telling "Jennie" that she must remain with Koo-jes-se & Tu-nuk-de-lien till our return.

I saw that Sharkey had a mountain of trouble at work within a but he strove manfully to keep his said said cheerful & to do every thing he could to please me.

I & 2 of my Co. started. Henry & Sharkey were the only ones to accompany me. My train of dogs were in fair condition & their number 11 including Koo-Kim's. All on the sledge & out on the sea ice. we kept up a watch of the monuments of Jennie. She rows out on the rocks of the Island Her head turned to a bluff & [[underlined]] bellowing [[/underlined]] (Innuit [[strikethrough]] Cyn [[/strikethrough]] cry-like) I felt rejoiced too see that she was making no direct movements to make toward us. (By [[underlined[[ flashes [[/underlined]] only can I continue the whole of what followed) At some future day I may intervene[[guess]] making the proper connections. Sharkey, repeated attempts before starting to comfort the weeping wife ("Jennie") whom Sharkey truly loves - Would that she was worthy of this noble Innuits endearments. - but alas, "Jennie" makes this world almost a constant h-l to Sharkey.

Before out on the ice a minutes notice "Jennie"'s quick movements - apparently attempting to strike across to head us.
