(70) 3 May Thursday overcast morning threatening afternoon and stormy evening with strong S or SE wind and some snow. This morning got from the store everything that I could for my furskimos, adding sugar coffee & cloth to their list and more tobacco than I expected to get, prices being lower here than I supposed that they would be - Abel and Kahpa got away about noon. Paid each man 13.50 to come who is the regular fixed rate for the journey from Tasiisaq. Dr. Breyden examined my heart and lungs this after noon and said that I seemed to him to be in very good condition probably benefited by my trip table to go on all night - Gov. Vinterberg put his seal on my furskimos - (Vinterberg) 4 May Friday Storm ceased during night the wind continued with strong north of day - Sunny fine most of day cloudy even- ing - 0°c this am. -10°c at 10 p.m. at 10 p.m. the man from Tasi isaq has not come in yet.
