foot hole thru the ice in the bay just south of the old tidal igloo for the re- installation of the tide gauge. The ice was five feet thick. Doc went up the fiord for rabbits but did not see any. Early this morning Myah & his family and Kiddles and his family left for the south. The rabbit we had for dinner tasted much better than usual - perhaps because they were fresh killed. Doc saw the tracks of the wolf very near the house and we believe he is liable to get a dog. Today and yesterday were marked by an absence of wind, and indeed all of March thus far has been very quiet. Fri March 14. Mac and Doc walked to the ice edge this morning. Doc fished and Mac followed wolf tracks and found that the wolf has been living on an island at the entrance to the bay. I dug open the back door. Later Mac and I nailed up a flag pole and the colors were hoisted. Jot was sick today. The wolf was seen very near the house in the evening and Mere went out to chase it.
