must acknowledge that I was sur- prised and disappointed, for this is the first trouble we've had with gas since the kerosene atomizer was taken off. It now is very evident that the reason we get headaches is because there is a gas-engine, (the same would hold true of any gas-engine) running in a tightly closed house, and there is nothing wrong with the engine,- altho there was a defect in it during the time it was run on kerosene. Later in the day Doc and I went for a walk up the fjord, and came back and all hands had a "ring- feet." Sat Jan 24-14. Up at five this morning and found Mac up working. He had been up all night. Called Doc at six to have breakfast by eight. Ohlsen left with our mail this morning for the south. He also carried some oil and biscuit down to Rasmussen at Dominboell.
