[Top page blank] 22 march                                        37 d Wednesday, Mar. 31 A disagreeable day, Temp in -20˚, thick & a biting N. & N.N.W. (true) wind in our faces. Per contra good going, some young ice then large hard level old floes. During last half of march obliged repeatedly to jump on the sledges to keep up. Cleared off in evening an hour our two before we stopped. (23 miles) If the Captain's observations tomorrow do not place us on the 88th parallel it will be because this north wind has set us south by crushing up the young ice behind us.
