Saturday, January 28, 1910.
Cloudy, SW wind with snow. -10°
More villainous weather. All the snow which blew
by in the NE gale is sweeping back over us from
the sound. I finished my day out & into this
afternoon - worked around for several hours. The
exercise is worth the time. I am trying hard to
keep in shape tho I certainly have no heart in the
dull posturing of twisting in darkness. It has purpose more
perhaps than an added variety of strength.
The engine is running tonight. I wanted to get
it started but I dare not venture out in this wild weather
- at least that is a more existing interpretation
of the simple fact that "the stove looks good to me!"
Sunday, January 29, 1910.
Clear with NE wind. -28°
To meals I went into Etah for dinner.
Ahdutahiqwah has finished up several pairs of
mittens for me. She sews well and what is
equally important cuts things to fit.
Kucarpigwak returned tonight with Wulu
Oodie & the baby Sukie. He brought me a
pair of bracelets which the man made. Roolbrother &
Ela Too (them) are here.
I built an igloo on the ice front after din-
nur.
