Monday November 21, 1914. Clear night light NE wind - 12 Dank and I walked down towards Cape Alexander today in hopes of seeing a party from the south. The day was perfect for walking with a brilliant full moon and very little wind. The men about the place go away nearly every day visiting their meat caches or trips. The supply of valuable meat at the house has become exhausted. Tom is very excited looking with his beard trimmed from his chin and the side whiskers in a- hip. He became greatly excited at dinner yester-day over the subject of the Pilgrim Monument at Provincetown. He insisted that it was the tallest one in the country. Since we could find no printed evidence to the contrary, he won the argument. Jerome has undertaken to cook dinner today and in consequence there is considerable excitement and a cer-tain familiar claim of profanity in the neighborhood of the party. He would rather do anything than cook and therefore has never been able to work up the least enthusiasm over the job. Joe and Hal have both had full length sleeping bags made and the women are sewing on their other garments. I do not believe either man is going to any hard work before spring but it pays to have all sewing done as soon as possible.
