All went well till the dogs caught sight of a whale breeching in the 30 ft.

lead and promptly made for it! It was all we could do to stop them before we reached the water.
Spent the day writing letters and completing arrangements for the ship--a brisk northerly breeze sprang up in the night and the ship bumped against the glacier until the pack came in as protection from the swell.

Ponies and dogs arrived about 1 P.M., and at 5 we all went out for the final start.

They have behaved like bricks and a finer lot of fellows never sailed in a ship.
