4 April Tuesday. 183. Still another clear, cloudless, calm day. Brilliant weather. Light air from N.W. on plateau. Temp. min.-7°; 9a.+30°; 12m.+40°; 4h.+3°½h.-5° Discovered today that box was rais- ing 9 a.m. Temperature readings 2°. Have gone back and subtracted that amount from each 9 a.m. read- ing for past five days. Went out alone to and up the big gulch and to top of moun- tain, where one obtains mag- nificent view of Petoric Glacier, Wostenholme Island, Ice Cap etc. Many good open roads are visible; slopes of hard marble-like snow hard to descend safely. Bentley j ed me down the last 20 ft to the bay ice. Crew had this first game of baseball. Mote quit pinochle game disgusted at the luck of himself and partner. Absurdly childish!
