FOREVER. Tuesday January 18, 1915. Clear with NE wind - 23° I found the wind pretty cold when I went to the house today. Soon after I arrived Sammy went to the Island with the two missionaries. They had dinner out with Jerome while I stayed in with Tot and Et. On my way out I fell an ice crack and my light perished. I managed to reach the Island by the faint illumination of the Aurora which seemed to be pouring off the ice cap. The visitors seem to be enjoying their stay at the house. The lights is increasing in the south but very very slowly. In fact it seems to me at the rate it is coming now the sun will not be back for a year or two - I am not getting any fatter which is not encouraging in view of the fact I must take a very cold trip in less than three weeks. I would give a fortune if I only might have my dog team move to go some where if only for a few days. Wednesday January 19, 1915 Clear mist SE wind - 25° I built another snow igloo not large but quite warm and comfortable. The visitors left at ab this A.M.
