Saturday, May 2nd 53rd day Slow to get up this morning but finally shook ourselves at about 9 and had tea. Neither of us craved or mentioned meal. I have been busy all day drying out sheep skin stockings and kamiles with three stoves going, warming up this lee boy of ours in good shape. E is repairing his hornath with hatchet, saw-knife and bow drill. S still blowing but can make out indistinctly the opposite shore and Cafe Colgate. Boys may be in tonight from western shore where Green is searching for a record left by Sverdrup in 1901 - 11-45 E is back from hunting and reports 3 more cariboo killed. Has been gone 4 hours. This is certainly luck and good pluck as well.
