April 27, 1917 Obs. Merid. Alt. - O = 26° 14' 30" Temp. . +10 Had only four hours sleep last night. Damp, blast, broken with the cold. Could not get warm in my Aberdeen bi and pitch sleeping bag at a temperature of probably -10°. Up at 8 P to get double altitudes for longitude. Heavy clouds obscured the sun in the afternoon rendering my mornings work nil. Looked round & decided to leave for Petalanda where we are in camp in Lipno's old igloo, which is littered with refuse, old and new walrus & bear, blubber, a safrutah and a sleeping bag. It smells a bit but sleep will drown that. + 6° ? at 8 P. M.
