[Top page blank.] 25 march                                      41 d. Sunday Apr. 4˚ Hit the trail again before midnight [inserted: after a short sleep]. If weather holds good shall be able to make get in the extra march. The day a duplicate of day before yesterday as to weather & going. The latter even better. The surface is as even (except for the pressure ridges) as the glacial fringe from Hecla to Columbia, & harder. Something over 10 hours on a direct course, 25 dogs often on the trot trot, occasionally on the run. 25 miles. Near end of march crossed a hundred yard lead on thin young ice. [Vertically in margin:] Natives anxious to reach & see the "Nort Pol"
