Midday walk of 2 1/2 miles. Wind was
very keen out in fjord.
Called on Munnis'ooq and Ahweah-
goodla on my return! They have Ahnee-
nak's igloo and it is a dismal look-
ing place compared with what it
was when Ahneerak was here.
Mac climbed Thermometer Hill hoping to get a sight of the
sun, but low clouds and fog hid
the disc, if indeed refraction lifted
it above the horizon. True de-clination would not bring it
to the horizon until the 18th according to Mac's reckoning (I make it over the 19th).
Have spent most of the day selecting words at Macabsalary work from Mac's book.
