31-V /3 as cold if not colder, but I was too tired + shivering to take tem- perature before it was too dark to get reading. Janching was an hard and shoved me all the boxes that he and Junggebs had brought down. Met Ewidloo, who seem- ed to recognise me + be glad to see me. She is sister to Man-nyglov + Owktania. Janchingway + Tongqing have a big igloo together with two windows in its front. It is abt 25 feet long by 11 wide and seems like a town hall in comparison with the usual igloo. Single stick of 5 in timber from its ridge pole, which is one foot clear above the floor. The flame from four large copper koodlas made the room very light and almost un- comfortable warm - ceiling + roof is of boards covered with turf etc. walls of stone, floor of boards. Quite a palace. Tongqing's wife, an at Oomanyap. Eighteen adults + children were in here this evening without overcrowding. My friends will be a mixed crowd. They see me eating from the walrus with delight.
