"Joy" Tuesday, October 27 - '14 Clear north with N E wind - Very (-)° - Beautiful glows in SW. Our day on receiving came what more varied now than the ice permits writing. We were overland this area by a shout from Joe. The only Hans had driven out must be some team. They did not receive a very warm welcome in the morning chilliness of our jacob room. We invited both to join in as breakfast but they protested: 'we are busy- the battle cry of Emergency.' Jensine and I covered our loneliness by the latest ad- tition to our culinary inventions - beans with cange for moring; This is a rich and filling dish; a man needs hearty food in such weather and conditions. Accompanied came out just after dark. She old man is very poor as present; this meat is all gone + There is no oil but ours of his cold glo. I made the wife 'saving for oil'. I went in to check up breakfast, that was long work - up it's hometh and the others were to all appearances busy in the ghastly light of the arctic aution; I pushed my some more books and returned to the island at an hour came with me. Tonight we had a genuine air of sociability in the room; there was more talk than for many days + we all felt better for it; Joe said the area that he intended to send two of the men down to Ossomi to find out Peter's plans. I doubt what Joe will get himself into all.
