Streights of La Maire

The snow continued to fall tho not quite so thick as it had done about 8 a small breeze of wind sprung up & with the additional power of the sun began (to our great Joy) to clear the air & soon after we saw the snow begin to fall from the tops of the trees a sure sign of an aproaching thaw. Peter continued very ill but said he thought himself able to walk Mr Buchan thank god was much better than I could have expected so we agreed to dress our vulture & prepare ourselves to set out for the ship as soon as the snow should be a little more gone off so he was skinnd & cut into ten equal shares every man cooking his own share which furnishd about 3 mouthfulls of hot meat all the refreshment we had had since our cold dinner yesterday & all we were to expect till we should come to the ship

About ten we set out & after a march of about 3 hours arrivd at the beach fortunate in having met with much better roads in our return than we did in going out as well as in being nearer to the ship than we had any reason to hope for on reviewing
