This evening the wind seems to come
from the southwest and is very heavy.
The weather too is very thick and we are
wondering how the travelers are getting
on. Captain Comer was going to U-
marrask with Peter, but the weather
had been so bad and was still so
threatening this morning that the
plan was given up on account of
the loads on the sledges. Good thing
that he did not go.
H.C.P. served chocolate this evening.
