-- FOREVER 199 Saturday November 21 - 1914 Snowing & windy - +° Another week shut in the fatal spot! Jerome had the engine started before break- fast this morning. Everything went well in the day's run I am glad to say for Jerome's sake as well as that of the engine and batteries. Gas and tank appeared about noon. They looked pretty sorry after a long walk into the tooth of the wind and driving snow. It is very nice that the men coming out from the house have a place to stop and warm up. I walked up to Dog Island intending to go up the Ford, but I found the weather so miser- ably dark and windy that I returned. Walking is a real effort on such days. The darkness makes all rough ice dangerous and the wind or snow takes away what little pleasure there may be in thinking while midway - for what man can exercise his brain with the condition of such bodily torture as these biting winds produce. We made some biscuits in the oven tonight. They were very good for a change. I can scarcely believe that this month is three quarters gone. I suppose keeping very regular hours and having plenty of work all day is at the bottom of this pleasant drifting of the days.
