Sunday December 13, 1940
SW wind and drifting snow x +4°
I was awakened this morning by the up-
rorious wind which we got from the SW. Before I
could sleep again Jerome was up and after the engine - while
he was ganting over his pet - we heard shouts outside
and a moment later were surprised by the arrival of
the new face Eth - the Espinos I mean. They had
started for Dulhewddi and had almost reached the Cafe
when the wind proved too much for them. Jerome hasted
down to an electric shock appliance. By the wild yells they
gave one would have thought that a real torture was
in progress.
Tank came out as we were finishing breakfast and
I went back with him. To my great joy I found
that Eth was cook and she lived up to my expectation
when a little later he loaded the table with an excellent
dinner x When we sat down Jas took another group
picture of us x But Thanksgiving Eth was away and Mar's
likeness was bad in that group x Today - Jo's & Jerome's
beards were off but everyone was more or less dress-
ed up for the occasion. These pictures will be very nice to
have after we are home.
Amah has something wrong with her innards. Too
much stuffing I expect. Jas' 2 igloo burned up last week,
i.e. she swf [illegible] canvas & grass burned off. He is mak-
ing a cache of valuable things in case our house burns.
