Seal meat & coffee in Kahdli's [illegible]
Egloo but had to let my tent
for sleeping. Byfog too crowded
[Illosalik]
& bed platform too short for me.
Snowshoeing this morning in
my heavy clothing was very hot
work & I was glad when it overtook
me. After getting on to Kahanootik
I wore my netle all day till about 5
o'cl when I changed to Kosetah --
Calm except latter part of afternoon
when we encountered N.W.
wind from the land.
The south Greenland houses
are 1 ft off, bricks above ground
not any longer. I should think
than the northern reports but
rectangular and a little high-
in inside than some. Lined with
boards. Earthen floor.
29 April Sunday. All my
habits slept on the ice finally
I believe. Beautiful night but
foggy this morning (10am).
Calm. Seems warmer but
not above 32&F
