Thursday, March 29. 5th day Snowing, wind south east, and temperature - 5° F. Waiting for it to clear up. Hear that Panlafa is going back to Eotah. A long, long day. Friday, March 30. Bright sun, blowing a 6 from south west, and heavy drift. Sledges nearly buried. Eoi-la-tin-a, Ea-day-to, Leady-ling-na, and D-o-gung wa got away for Victoria Head about 10 o'clock. Panlafa says he is going on... as we face the wind for Cape Sabine we will wait for a while in hopes of more favorable conditions. At 11-40 P.M. A long day but fortunately good going although a bit humidly round of Bedford Pine Island. When more than half way to Rice Strait we decided to try Cape Sabine.
