Sound. 113 Saturday May 9 - 1914 Made much to small igloo on thier south Defaulden. A north wind whistled about our heads all of the way. I kept ahead hoping to get a bear hunt did it was too thick to see + D missed the igloo. Since I could not see thru I lay down & took a sleep in the lee of my bowrth until the storm went down some. D then found the other two out the igloo 2 miles south of --. Sunday May 10 - 1914 Came down to camp just north junction to Bay Trail. Igloo was smooth in. A sled film left here but the mask or skins had been damaged by bears + caribou. Monday May 11 - 1914 Left 4:20 pm & 2:20 am. With 5 troops all gone as we had jammeins for break- fest. We rapidly saw glace in for a while + then stuck heavy snow on foot. Igloo fell in -- we built a wind brick out of snow blocks & slept on the cairns stair which men are bringing down with us.
