Northward: Peary’s 1908-09 Expedition

Trying to keep awake

  • 07-29-1909 – Afternoon
  • Donald B. MacMillan
  • Near Distant Cape, Ellesmere Island, CAN

Have been drifting slowly south all day long, squeezing through the narrowest part of Robeson Channel.
    Today we put a low horizontal bar on the main deck and have taken some exercise which I hope may be conducive to sleep. I have at last succeeded in forcing day and night onto their respective places again, sleeping at night and trying to keep awake during the day.
