When we took Rode a while in Reeves
Riches sledge by his invitation then
he overtook me. Shortly before him
we came to the edge of the new ice
depth and he went off on a tour
of inspection that lasted an hour
a more when he came back
he started out into the new ice
again and I had plenty of heart
troubled for an hour or thereabouts.
Then we
had thicker new ice + some old
ice + a very crooked and varied
route till 4:30 when K gave
the word to make camp at the
base of a good sized ice berg. It
has been a beautiful day, warm
in the direct rays of the sun
but the shade showed the cold
all the same & for a little while
in the afternoon we had a bit of
calm NE wind - Sundays at
50°C.
Have work with K
knight all day.
Just the boys and a few sheep.
