Rough weather all night. Two or three days ago Norman trimmed the chief's beard as the latter wanted to, but the chief does not like the effect for it makes him look like a red-headed Jew. Dr. Hunt is having his hair cut short today. Norman is quite a barber, useful in the after cabin. Wind moderated about noon and Dr. Hunt and I went out about 2 p.m. for a breath of fresh air. The "breath" was too strong for me - fort for him and he came back.
