450 woolen socks. Outside hair froze to the (bottoms of the rubbers), but my feet were not cold. This has happened once before. Rubbers are cold things for comfort. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Mac Millan, Green and Hunt. We thought that they might come in to-day and we fear that they have been delayed by bad weather. Mac wrote that he would arrive 12-25 November, but we were positive that he could not accom- plish the journey so soon and in our own minds added ten days to his limit. Breakfast, oatmeal, beans etc as before We welcomed the return of the beans! Dinner, pea soup, hard corned beef etc. Plus a bottle of our grape juice. Captain Pickels gave me a sketch- map of Melville Bay showing our course, both true and magnetic. I have fastened this in my notebook and have made out a table of magn. courses for max. days march.
