Sunday, Feb. 15, 3rd day Tonight promises to be a little less than comfortable. We have no tent and there is no snow for an igloo so we are compelled to seek up at Grant's Hotel with the sky for a roof and the ice for our bed. It is 50 below- zero, a rather low tempera- ture for sleeping in wet underclothes. Will place my bags on the ice against my sledge, lie down with everything on cover me self with my sleeping bag and musk-ox skin. Am blessing the happy thought which prompted me to have deer skin blanket-pouches made. They are a very important item of one's equipment and should always be carried as it- might mean the difference between going on and returning with frozen feet.
