109 August 3-1918. Con Heall Saturday. There was a fine aurora-borealis last midnight. Towards morning the wind began to blow from the south-west and this morning the thermometer is falling down. Drilling thinks we may not be able to go now. Therefore Duntan and Edwards go over again to Stearny Island to collect more fossils in the 4x6 foot Chazy Creek that is full of cephalopods with some trilobites. Returned empty handed, because traces are too high and could not land, In the afternoon we attempted to collect more Reedman from fossil beds but the rain soon drove us in. With the rain now on the ground our batteries let down and we can go north to ocean. It rained most of the night and the wind changed to the south- east.
