Tue Feb 10-14.
Doc left with his division
this morning. Touchmignah's face
was really not well enough for
such exposure but he showed good
grit and went. Quite a fresh wind
was blowing from the east; the
day was clear.
I ran the engine all day at
light load, am giving the
battery the de-commissioning
charge and must run several
days in succession.
Wed Feb 11-14.
Breakfast at usual time this morning
but those of us who were at the table were
rather a sleepy crowd. Raemusser had
sat up nearly all night with jot
learning how to bake bread, and
Mac and me had both been up
late; and I had not slept well.
There was so much wind that nobody
attempted to leave today. It comes down
in gusts off the hill and tries to carry
boxes of food and all with it.
I ran the engine for a few hours.
