The snow-full may be put (17) [illegible] down as being about 12" for this storm. Drifting snow in good shape. Let it go! It can't go too rapidly for either us or the Eskimos, the meat supply being already low. Panik-puk is out of oil as well as meat. Akweeahgoodlak brought her baby over this evening in spite of wind and drift. He looked cute e- nough in his little fur bag, but he is almost destitute of clothing. Noted on C.L.S. Relief, vocabulary and developing [illegible]. Geology. 25 January. Thursday.

The Eski- mos were expecting to go overland some of the way on account of bad ice and spend at least me night away. They don't like the idea of having no food for their guests, above all things.
