21 April Friday Overcast with cirro cumulus clouds at 9a.m. but cleared off almost entirely before noon. Calm, slight variable. Temp. min -12°; 9a +5°; 12m +10°; 2p. +11°; 4p. +10°; 8p. +2.5° Some St. Vincent work under adverse circumstances, or contayin cabin. Out alone for an hour and a half around head of bay - about 4 mi. This evening Dr. Hunt gave up and turned in with the stomach ache, apparently too much white-whale skin. Dosed up with peppermint by H.C.P. Norman continues to have great trouble with stiffness, swelling and pain in one leg, but not the one that got frosted. Dr. says that perhaps it is phlebitis - H.C.P. is sure that it is rheumatism. I wonders whether it may not be scarvy. Sun sets on eastern and southern mountain chains after 9p.m. Hazy at 9:30
