We have had a very heavy
snow today, the most we've had
all winter - with a light south wind.
Got and I got 35 bags of coal
down from the point.
Nukapinqua and Arkhis were to start
for Cape Sabine tomorrow (via the land
route to Kamovik) with walrus meat
but there is so much snow now that
perhaps the trip will be postponed.
My sea-pigeons were shot out
at the ice-edge today.
Wed May 13, 14.
The snow yesterday continued till
midnight. Today a light wind has
been blowing but not enough to blow
the snow away. There is not much
excitement here now.
Thurs May 14, 14.
Arkhis and Nukapinqua started for
Cape Sabine today about two p.m. They
went overland to clear the open water
between her and Kamovik. There
is enough snow in the Sabine back
