"Thursday April 30th
51st day
Snowed under today. Blowing
hard and drifting so that it
is 'i-o-dwarf-th-swee-yer' to-
travel. The most uncomfortable
night that we have had. Our
tours were dreary, full of snow
that it was cold sleeping? Our
stomachs were so full of
pemmican that we twisted and
turned all night. The roof
of our igloo has fallen so low
that we can hardly sit
upright on the lid platform.
Hope she will hold up one
more day. Am wondering
where Green and Pee-ah-
wal-to are and if the two
are turned in. Our dogs
are having a deserved rest,
but the food fellows have not
been fed for two days.
8 P.M.
It is clearing up a bit so will
cave to and start along although
it is still blowing hard.
