FOR EVER. 249 Thursday January 21, 1910. N.E. Gale clear with drifting snows - 29° This is the worst storm we have had at the Island. The snow is so thick in the heavy wind that one can see scarcely ten yards -- I could not face the wind ten seconds -- I secured the dog and her two surviving pups tonight. They were in the tent behind the house but the snow was drifting in. I warmed, dried & fed the mother while the babies slept in the bunk. Then I made a nice rubine nest for them with coal bags + lined it with grass. I am quite sure they will not die but with this weather one cannot be comfortable while such miserable erection as these poor starved my dogs are outside with little or no shelter. The house is so buried with snow that we are quite comfortable - We have more than six hours of twilight already + the moon adds its help to make an almost daylight day. Friday January 22, 1910. Partly cloudy. N.E. wind - 87.5° The storm blew itself out in the night. I worked on a "dragnet" qlos today. I found a good drift made by the storm + decided to try my hand. I walked in to the house tonight. Sammy & Jennie have gone south. It is very dark these days with the black clouds shutting out the precious two lights.
