_Wednesday, 17._–We proceeded, and taking up our nets as we passed,
we found no more than seventeen fish, and were stopped within a mile by
the ice. The Indians, however, brought us back to a point where our
fishery was very successful. They proceeded also on a hunting party, as
well as to discover a passage among the islands; but at three in the
afternoon they returned without having succeeded in either object. We
were, however, in expectation, that, as the wind blew very strong, it
would force a passage. About sunset, the weather became overcast, with
thunder, lightning, and rain.
