Dark, dull and dismal, though air has
not been thick with drift as it was yesterday.
Walked up fjord to Piahwahta's Point --
2 mi. Wind rather keen near house and
in front of river valley but absent beyond.
Jatara was the curlicue baby boy this morn-
ing with me of Nice's old mittens or in
place of a kamitic which has been lost
or mislaid. Great catastrophe to-day
Mac cracked one of our precious lamb
chimneys by turning the flame up too high.
Captain is very silent now-a-days and
spends most of his time in his room with
his door closed. Don't know whether he
is offended at something or not..

Nice day except for the wind, but that
was very keen, even more so out in
the bay than here near the house. Got in
a two mile walk, which was quite
enough, on account of the wind.
Captain more cheerful to-day
