Galle and I hauled wood today. The woman
is working industriously, but is very slow. Fin-
ished a pair of mittens for Galle today. Saw a
raven flying about camp. I cooked for dogs to
day as the bear meat is nearly gone. About 4
P.M. a light gale arrose from the East with
drifting snow. We do not like to see this wind for
the ice does not go out with it. Cloudy.

Over slept this morning, but no harm done for
it was blowing a gale from the East and
snowing. We straightened up about camp and
cleaned up the stormshed. The woman is very
industrious and has been very gay all day, es-
pecially after I told her that Crawford and
Maurer would be down for Xmas. Blowing
a gale now from the West and snowing. Cloudy

Blowing a strong gale from the West, so did
not go out today. The woman is working like
a Trojan and arose this morning at 6 o clock
to bake bread. The dogs are inside and comfortable.
Nothing to do until the blow is over. Cloudy.
