Planet, Jupiter (?), shone brightly (128
in the west at 11 a., and another, Venus ?,
at 1 p.m. and the moon is brilliant
this evening.
After a long halt in proceedings Nuan-
fingwah and WiWi began again fixing
up igloo under our living room for
their occupancy. Captain helped, and
seemed to be doing most if not all
the carpentering ! He has made
two breast buttons, Baffin Bay style,
no style for the woman's large hood
when she is carrying a child there
and now Ahminal wants some
so he is making her a pair
of matted wool.

Jot says that this is the heaviest
snow storm that he has seen
here. Fifteen inches of the light stuff
had fallen by 2 p.m. Fully 30
inches has fallen in the past two months.
So thick all day that walking for
pleasure was out of the question.
This evening's gale will blow lots of
the snow away.
Wrote several letters.
