hurry about getting up - Anyhow
there are no regular hours for meals
and no regular meals - Even one eats
when he is hungry, if there be anything
to eat- otherwise he goes hungry -
Everyone sleeps when he is sleepy and
can get a chance to sleep, either sitting
up or lying down - It took me a little
time to get used to seeing the frozen
section of narwhal in the middle of
the floor, with the people grouped around
it, one person hacking it to pieces
with a small axe and each person
cutting off the mouthfuls at his
own mouth. But I soon was playing
my part at the game -
Soon after noon I proposed to Jan-
guary to take a walk. We put on our ice-
hard sweaters and anoraks and went
down to the kumataks for our blanket
shirts. Temp. -35° F. I feel the
cold somewhat, but not much,
