207 Sunday November 29 1914 High x E winds; Clear x - 11.0° In fact the wind is not only high, but wide and thick, and stronger than a man can stand except between gusts x I went out to the Island, or rather was blown out, and arrived in a fuffy x I found that the wind has commenced to wear away the snow at the back of the house x On the other sides the drifts are getting deeper and deep x I practiced a little on the key but my fingers soon got cold and I started in x The three Willie pups came in with me. I was glad to have the black one again as I believed that he had not caught in a trap x Dooley Phlio found him down at Cape Alexander near one of the meat caches x The trip home was a long tussle against the buffets of the icy blast sweeping out of the throat of the Fiord x The full moon rolled along the plateau above us and in its lonely brightness the rushing snow filled wind poured over the cliff-tops a perfect Niagara of snowy mist x Hal is cooking today to our great joy. At breakfast we revelled in the most delicious tubed steaks we have had x Smothered in onions, lute, Juicy and sweet, the meat was fit for a king x I am writing for me an account of the trip I made last spring back over the glacier with the air.
