the water. A series of curved (124 concentric with the glacier front have been developed in its lake ice. Out for 3+ mile walk myself. Unpacked scales and fixed up a 10% solution of HgCl₂ in hot water, but the salt crystallized out when the water cooled and I must make it up again with alcohol tomorrow. Captain built snow igloo d'aisance for the two family groups south of the house and is going to build an other for the two north of us. Odd that the Eskimos should want or ever be willing to have a white man build even such snow-igloos for them! Overhauled alcoholized fish with captains help - slit abdomens of large ones, wrapped up again with labels. 2 Nov. Thursday. max 17.5° O, SW3; O, W3; O, NW4; B, W4; B, SW5 min 13.2 8a, 17.5°; 12m, 15°; 4p, 16.50°; 8p, 14.2°; 12p 14.9° Seismograph working well now, though magnet stopped for a time but this morning. Mac and Gunnik went out to Sunrise Point and Cape Ohlsen, at latter place Mac climbed to top + saw continuous ice in every di- rection, with but few leads. I walked out through middle of fjord 11a - 12:15p. ca 3 ½ miles walk. Eskimos are much and intelli- gently interested in natural history pictures and geography.
