Saturday October 3d - 1917 [Fourth round]
Wind continued perhaps it was a little worse
today as the house shook all day long.
I walked for two hours this morning and
three hours this afternoon. Despite the wind the
air is so fresh and crisp that I hate to stay in-
dors.
A surprising amount of young ice has
passed out of the field, it has been going by
our island for two days and seems to have
finished only this evening.
We are enjoying a full moon in the even-
ings, our first this fall. Day one first breeze
in the midnight sun of the summer one does not
notice the moon.
Sunday October 4 - 1917
And still it blows.
[Fifth round]
June and I have both caught a cold
from Turkish who arrived sniffling last Wednesday.
Since you brought us we set the two
boys for a fiction and was astonished to find that the
two boys had disappeared. The wind was dangerously
high in the flying ship boats. But the tobacco of both
men is all gone and they hate illness. I don't
have them for getting hemispher in the atmosphere of the
quiet pair of books worms that inhabits this place.
