Thursday January 8th 1914 These last few days have been very wintry. The thermometer has been below 30° below zero F & the high winds still come. I am doing my best to keep in good shape. I am walking every day - gradually increasing the length of the trips. Today I walked about thirty miles in two stretches, before & after dinner. Already one can notice a difference in the south where the dawn is growing. But we cannot forget the wonderful and brilliant comfort of our electric lights. They have meant much to us. Monday Jan 12-1914 My diary has made another jump. In the meanwhile the visitors have gone. Early & I walked down to Cape Alexander today. The temperature was more than 30° below zero and a miserable wind was blowing. But it was beautiful in the bright moonlight. It was swinging up to 1st S' corner of the glacier wall we heard a shout. It turned out to be Joe and a party from the South. With them can daughters and his wife who have come to the sun's aid. From here it will go to Omei, then to South Greenland & home in April. Bright has joined the list of divisions for the trip.
