524 three to six months at the American Museum rounding everything up. During our walk Dr. Tanquary called my attention to the delicate lavender light noticeable in the west and said that it was a harbinger of the returning sun. 4 January. Tuesday. Somewhat hazy, but not enough so to hide the brighter stars. Calm or with light wind. In evening a somewhat stronger breeze came in from the west or southwest. Temp. min -20°; 9a.-11°; 3h.-9° [note: nom -15°] Dr. Tanquary and I walked across to the snowdrift glacier and then around the head of the bay back to the schooner, a tramp fully 4 mi. Have been busy writing letters & cablegrams and making other preparations for departure.
