Temp. min. -19°; 9a. -6°; 2:00p. +10°; 2:30+4° Lay awake from before 12:30 to after 4 a.m. Seem to be getting into the habit of distressing wake- fulness. Some rheumatic stiffness in hands Considerable numbness of big toes and ends of fingers. Took six mile walk alone, visiting front of southern branch of Cluett glacier and the big snow-drift glacier on south side of bay. Distance from latter to ship in direct line paced off at 2 1/2 miles. Small amount of snow drifted at foot of Cluett glacier advancing it 10-15 yards. Large block of ice has fallen off from overhanging edge of the tongue glacier nearby. On the ice at base of the snowdrift glacier there is a low ridge of 100 feet wide of snow-block debris formed by fragments fallen from this winter's cornice at the top of the vertical front. Eskblaw tells me that he has seen great blocks 15 feet
