Comes up to my ideal of what an L9 Arctic storm would be, except that the temperature is relatively high. Calm for a time last night. Temp. min +8°; 9a. +17°; 5p. +5° On board all day. Rudhlok and Isethiak are for- tunate in having food and fuel again. He got a hare in a snare yesterday, so that the family had a feast last night and the two Estino^stoves were going on the seal fat brought down by Ola- kutziak last week. The igloo last night looked cheerful again with its window brightly lighted. This evening even the captain admitted that the storm was a bad one, so we land lubbers think that our estimate of it is fairly correct.
