Hidden by the clouds and fog, (198
To-day had clear view of opposite
shore of Smith Sound.
Work on vocabulary continued.
This evening I na-too brought in
the net which she has made for me
for Sister and I gave her an old Cast-
wright and Warner short sleeved under
shirt for it. Really too much but
it was the only personal thing that
I had. She seemed much pleased.
I hope that the odor can be taken out
of the garment, when I get it home!
It is a good one and pretty, as such
tings go.

Two+ mi. walk at midday. Wind strong
and gusty out in fjord, seemingly from
NE or ENE rather than E but the outer
fog showed that a southerly was blowing
there. To-night's a bad storm with much
falling and driving snow is raging,
which will probably have to do with the ice,
at any rate breaking up the young ice
that has formed during the past few days.
Mac is afraid that the present long
delay in our Estevanos' getting down
to Umanaq and back may affect
his spring plans unfavorably.
