58 Just before we were hauling it taut after many hours I toiled the whole thing cares away. I laid up the motor boat engine today. Saturday October 11 1910. The gales continue to blow with great velocity from the ice caps. We finally got the aerial up. The long stretch to the high cliff was not a success. We changed the wire to a span across the stream gorge and up the hill to the west of it. We had a good deal of static dis- charge from this but heard nothing although a good many hours of listening in were detuned up. I brought a 125 lb. case of flour over from the Point on a long drive this morn- ing. I would not have thought that I could do it but the long drive makes things pretty light when it is properly adjusted. Joe drove his team 5 days from the Point today for the first time. The ice is very weak in top as the gales which does not freeze at these temperatures.
