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.
