A seal appeared on the ice this morning about 1/4 of a mi.
to the W, near shore. Crawford went after him but could
only get to within 200 yds of him for rough thin ice. Two
shots were fired and we think the seal was hit but he
went down his hole. Galle and I hauled a load of
wood from the W. Strong br from the S.S.E. Occasional
light showers of rain & sleet. Cloudy.
