[Top page blank.]          16 m.                                                 30 d Wed. Mar. 24 Another early start soon after midnight. Hazy day with light snow precipitation & light wi-ly [windy?] air. Some very heavy & tortuous going at first then more level & direct. A good march. (15 m.) My advance sledges found both Henson & Captain in camp. They were off before I arrived. Our camp is beyond the Norwegian record. Egingwah's sledge broken today. Cr Broke up Marvin's crippled sledge & repaired all other sledges with the material. This will give us tomorrow 4 sledges with 10 dogs to each. I leave at this [vertically in margin:] camp Marvin's supplies for his return from the next camp, lightening our sledges 300 lbs.
