Mac started Ahreena at £57 work to-day on making a pair of bearskin pants for Captain Clive from one of the skins secured on the Finlay Sand trip last spring. We are using the South Greenland style club- burlamp made by Noocarfingware to supple- ment the light from our extensive living room. 27 December.

Wind sharp off mouth of streamgorse near us, but none in lee of cliffs beyond. Light, strange to say; seemed weaker to day, in spite of cloudless sky - asked Mac to have for skins boys brought in today.

Does not seem as if the plan would be practical for mine. Moon-i-shoo came in this evening wearing a new anorok, made from some plaid gingham that Mac gave her for Christmas - on Samurick's account, I suppose.
