a five-gallon can from a little stream 1/26 pouring over the shore cliff from the base of a snow bank. Mate followed suit. Seems good to see running water again after seven months of solid frost. But we shall have some more cold weather before melting begins with real activity. Went ashore and walked for an hour on land and on the bare ice of the bay. Wind too strong and snow too soft for enjoy- able walking. Ahuquiolots propped an old door against the window of the igloo, which had been broken by the puppy, but he left a hole though much in snow drifted during this last storm. H.C.P. had the doorway of the forward house opened up and door removed. Midnight sun due to-night. 3 May. Wednesday. Overcast and rather thick to thick. Little wind. Moderate E in am.
