Dr. Hunt applied electricity (12) to Charlie this evening in the hope of helping him out of trouble. Great excitement at 7:30 when Char- lie came down, leaving the door of the canvas house open. We thought that the wind would carry the canvas away, before the mate could get the door shut. Charlie did not seem to have any idea of the danger to which he exposed us, though he had been told often enough to be careful to close the door after him when the wind was blowing. 19 February. Saturday. Somewhat overcast and cloudy this morning, clearing overhead about noon, but heavy clouds near horizon and banks of fog
