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.
