Captain finished fixing up windows and all double windows are in place except those in main room, which will not be put on till the weather is much colder because they reduce the light considerably, and we need all the light that we can get. Mac went up the fjord in his kayak and visited Lake to take soundings but the ice there was too thin to support him and he could not make them. WiWi is doing our cooking, in Jots absence.

Went up gorge where Captain Comer gets our water and walked along hill - Etah is a bad place for land walking. Chringka took her trypic down today. Mac says that many of the Estreinos consider her to be the handsomest woman of the tribe. He thinks that Ivahch takes the prize, while I think that Almadrush is the best looking of those whom I have seen. Wi-Wi finished papering the upper part of my room with newspapers, making it dark and more cheerful. She cut the captain's hair to-day, giving him a regular frise fighter's clip, though somewhat ridged.
