"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.
