588 at 4:45 p. Eginuak, Evik, Bozeman (Ajaqo) and Pingasut's wife ... arrived from Cape York. This means more loads going to Umanak, I am happy to think. Evik brought me a letter from Green written at end of second day's march (21st). Party made 30 miles first day but traveled only five hours second on account of storm setting in. All snow shoeing some of time. He closes "Don't envy our lot; it is a thick and snowy one + too cold for comfort", - but I wish that I were with them, just the same - Oh dear! 6:45 Ahngnadabak came in from Umanak - but Ahingualoto is delayed somewhere on the road. 10 p.m. The wind has died out and the night is beautiful though cold. Taylor got a hare to-day, making two on hand now and giving good pros- pect of a fine rabbit stew for the mess tables.
