October 2 & 3rd -1913.
Snow and wind for a change.
We are building an igloo for the
expeditions that we brought up from the
South. They are to occupy the shed to
the left and in front of the house. Their
back wall is the lower part of the front
wall of Mae's room.
We are gradually unpacking the
hydrographic boxes, checking them up and
getting the contents into shape.
We have commenced to bring
boxes over from the Point on temp drives.
Each of us bring over four cases of
condensed milk every day. Those weigh
about 32 lbs. each. They make a good load
down the mile of rocky trail winding up
and down the hill.
Saturday, October 4-1913.
Wds indoors all day long charging
the batteries. We ran from 4 o'clock and
shut down just after midnight.

I will settle down to a better system
for running the engine. There seems each being
out some new points for improvement -
