Saturday November 1, 1913.
The temperature remains at from 10° to
15° below zero, and the incessant wind
makes our work on the store at the
Point quite unpleasant. But they are coming
over rapidly with five or six sledges help-
ing.
Sunday November 2, 1913.
We observe Sunday by stopping all
work and playing no games. We usually
go for a long tramp on this day.
This afternoon Tank and I took the tob-
boggins out on a tremendous snow bank
just to the west of the house. We found it
too steep and too slippery and got some bad
falls. Finally Tank turned turtle and landed on
his head and shoulders. He broke his left forearm in the
shushing.
We had an Enormous snow meal - to this
evening.
Tuesday November 4-1913.
Bob and Allen are working on the
former's sledge. Tank is laid up with his arm.
I am still working on the tide gage. It does not
seem to take very well to this cold weather.
The clocks will not work well, probably be-
cause of the thickening of the oil by the cold.
