I walked up to Pe-ah-wah-to's Point and back, 4 mi., in comfort, wearing my netia. The gale must have been fierce in the fjord yesterd day for not only is little if any new snow left, but also much of the old snow adhering to the ice has been torn off and carried out to sea leaving large areas of bare or near- ly bare ice. Walked 1.15 to 2.45 p.m. This morning I cut down a partly used zinc plate from the Edison cell and fitted it into one of the carbon cells and the improvised battery works all right. Worked on vocabulary and devel- ping plates. 20 January. Saturday. C6, NE4; O, NE4; O, NE2; O, NE2; B, NE3 -11; -7; -3.5; -3; -5.5. min -11.5; max -2 av. -6 Calm in lee of hills beyond our river. Walked up a little beyond Pe-ah-wah-to's Pt. Worked on vocabulary. Developed a few plates. Mac walked out to edge of ice, which he reports as being in line with second island. Good prospects for next spring.
