Fixed up some letters and papers, Half hour's walk in the storm, just before dinner. Had our closing game of poker. Six months lacking two days, and Mac wins the pipe. In the previous series two years ago, Mac won. The prize was a silk hat. We say that now he ought to be required to go down the street in N.Y. smoking the pipe and wearing the hat at the same time! Mac said today that he was going to take my grafex + his lenses and Jox's 4x5 film camera and not take his 3 A and films. He is going to save the films for the homeward trip on the ship, although it is my own outfit that enables him to do this, and he knows that I can't get any 3A films in Greenland, he does not offer me any more rolls beyond the 5 that he gave back to me two or three days ago. He keeps 10 rolls.
