Monday January 19 - 1914 yesterday was full wind but the men and spenc returned me in time for dinner. with them bought wood that it is now necessary to get together they have gone to Cafe York. Today the men took my three loads of generican and left it just inside Littleton Island. This is necessary as we could not very well take free loads if the ice around Summit Point broke up and we were pressed to use the ice fast. Thursday Jan 22 - 1914 We are so busy these days that it is hard to find anything in our diaries. The men have continued to take light loads up to- news the island (Littleton). We will be able to go with empty hands at least for you. We are taking everything, that is all the fins, out of the wooden cases in which they were packed. This saves a great deal of weight and makes it much easier to load and lash our depots. Spencer has decided to give each man a load of about 25 lbs excepting those that take the white men who will have of 25 lbs price or accretion of their weight of personal equipment.
