70-day there has been a (189
fusillade of stores against
the rear of the house. They are
dislodged by the wind from the
high raised beach back of us
and roll down the steep snow
slope. One 2" in diameter came
crashing through a double win-
dow into the workshop, letting
in with it lots of cold air.
No fire in our cooking range
since about 8:30 this evening.
Temp in my room at 11 p.m.
is 47o,-a little cool but I do
not mind it much.
8 February. Thursday.

Two mile walk at midday, working
my way up north side of fjord against
the keen wind, then out to middle
of fjord above Dog Island and
back to house. Wind NE and at
least 5 in force out in the fjord.
The Eskimos found it cold out
rabbit hunting today, Kahda
who served as "dog" frosting one
cheek.
Am reading Dr. Kane. Very interest-
ing but sometimes inaccurate
or greatly exaggerated.
