Finishing touches

  • 05-26-1909 – Evening
  • Robert E. Peary
  • Cape Sheridan, Ellesmere Island, CAN

A dull cloudy day, threatening to snow.
    The sail model taken out on quarter deck by Mr. Gushue + given the finishing touches for photographing.
    My infernal tooth still making things very unpleasant for me.
    Snowy owl shot a mile or two from the ship.
    One of the Esks. Brought in a very old piece of narwhal horn which he found this side of the water supply lake.
