Worked on seismographs and wrote several letters.

Beautiful day though still rather windy out on the fjord. Walk in bay 2-3 p.m.
Fukashu (Eetookashoo) built a snow block entrance to his igloo - first snow edifice here of the season.
Fussed over the electromagnet of the seis-mograph this morning and though I seemed to do nothing to it, it got to running at once and ran for several hours after I put it back on to the frame. Then it went balky again. Temp. in seism room 12m. 23°, min -40
Yesterday with captain Coss's help got iron stakes ready to set on gla-cier and got fixed up an ice auger.
We are going out this tomorrow, if the weather holds favorable.
