"Can perhaps make our Lake Camp" Tomorrow--farming camp We got a glacier. Snowing again today and very cloudy so that it is impossible to see for any distance but what I could see through the falling snow and clouds was magnificent -- towering mountain peaks everywhere. Friday. May 15th 66th day 8 A. M. From lake to lake today - 11 1/2 hours. Lost one snow shoe and was obliged to go back a mile or so and get it. Liz- and E- went on and made tea at top of glacier. Arrived at lake here at 5:30 after an exciting run down the glacier, Liz- overturning his hornalib and breaking it- Both gloves are down. Has been snowing all night but has now cleared up giving us a chance to make our beds and dry our shoes.
