31 sl-day
Still blowing from the south and very thick. I am afraid we can do nothing but sit tight.
The Eskimos played cards all day yesterday while I played the harmonica until my mouth was sore.
The dogs were not- fed yesterday but- must be today. We are 150 miles from Cape South West- with nothing on the trail but hollered and to blue. We have 252 lbs pemmican with us. Thirsty nine will be fed out- tonight and four for ourselves, leaving 269.
Shall need going back at- least- 129 lbs leaving so lbs only for stormy weather. This I might see in going to North Cornwall.
A failure of a game and there two cloudy days change my plans.
