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.
