Thursday Feb. 16th never again if I can possibly avoid it-shivered and shook all night but managed to sleep a little between the 'shooks'. Finally got up and ran around on the ice foot- to get warm. Had excellent sledding on the ice foot but a little heavy across Alexandra Fjord. Found a note- from the Doctor saying he had slept there three nights- with E-wob-al-shue who has the mumps. Passed two dead dogs an ominous sign for so early in the game. Again we are to try the open air treatment no snow for an igloo. But it promises to be a little better than last night- as we have made a good fire of biscuit boxes and will sleep in our bags as close as possible.
