worked skillfully, rapidly (226
and steadily, a good job!
Four mile walk after dinner,
Peewahto's Point. Air was hazy and
rather thick, with fine granular snow
falling.
Weights this evening 175 lbs.
Told Mac that I wanted ac-
commodations to bring some
one with him for my journey
for as Dologset or Netchilcevik.
This evening I tried Mac's lens
in my Graflex camera box and found
that it fitted perfectly, but it ought
to for it is exactly the same as my
own lens. I told him that he
might take both my cameras and
their plate holders across to Elles-
mere Land with him, thus giving
him an addition of 4-8 exposures
without reloading. He is going to take
to the Graflex only.
The anvil fell off the bench
today while I was working at it
and would have struck one or
both of my feet, had I not jump-
ed away in time. It was a
sufficiently narrow escape
from present disaster to my plans
and lasting injury to myself.
It broke the board which it land-
ed on in the floor.
