On shore in the evening, at a small bay north of Granville Bay, a glacier at the head of bay, lime- stone rocks ; saw a red-throated diver and two reindeer, one a buck. A little house of stones was on the end of the point, probably an Esqui- mau stopping-place, with bones around. Near the N. W. Point of Granville Bay, north of the small bay. Just spoken of, is a mountain called by the Esquimaux Oobloodatingvvah, the Sunlight Rock, so called because the sun just touches the top of it when it dis...appears in the last days of the fall. Temperature of the air at 12 o'clock 36°, water 36°, mercurial thermometer about 40°. August 14th, Friday — Passed Cape Parry, Cape Paw- lett, and Cape Trautwine, and stopped at II A. M. Near the village of Ittibloo (Iteplik) on Whale Sound. We went ashore, seeing a glacier near us. Five tupiks here, one with a light burn- ing in it. The village is surrounded with grass on a sloping piece of ground at the foot of a moun- tain with a glacier and stream to the southwest.
