N._ The fog kept company with us on our return almost continuously until we had passed Lockwood Island, but as we had a trail to follow, did not delay us as much as the several inches of heavy snow that fell in a blizzard, which came from the Polar basin, and imprisoned us for two days at Cape Bridgman. At Cape Morris K. Jesup, the northern extremity, I erected a prominent cairn, in which I deposited the following record: COPY OF RECORD IN NORTH CAIRN May 13, 1900—5 A. M.
