Tue Sept 9-13
Today we finished the main room,
set up the stove, lighted the fire and
started cooking in the new house. It
seems very good to have the fire going
in the big room.
I laid the second floors in the
two northwest rooms; and brought
over a boat-load of electrical goods
from the point.
This morning before any of us
were awake Alakashinguah came
to Mac's tent and woke him with
the startling news that the motor-
boat was not in sight, - had prob-
ablely drifted to sea. Mac called Jot
and Green and told them to go
around the shore and see if they could
see anything of it; and happily they
soon came back with the news
that they had found it. A big berg
had drifted in and carried the
boat in front of it right close
to the beach.
Wed. Sept 10-13.
Our first breakfast in the new
home! It sure tasted good.
I finished the floors and partitions
