30th day
Hinlay Land
The first disagreeable weather we have had. Blowing from south east with drift - Temp - 10; Bar 29.76.
Last night it was very clear. We could see all neighboring lands and even North Cornwall.
The boys have gone back to the mountains to find something eatable. I am keeping house, sewing, drying, and reading.
4 P.M.
Boys back reporting tracks of lemming, fox, and flocks of caribou. They think the mountains are about three miles away.
