N.2', E.5 1/2' .-- In the morning the conditions were unaltered.

Went for a ski run before breakfast.

It makes a wonderful difference to get the blood circulating by a little exercise.
After breakfast we served out ski to the men of the landing party.

They are all very keen to learn, and Gran has been out morning and afternoon giving instruction.
Meares got some of his dogs out and a sledge--two lots of seven--those that looked in worst condition (and several are getting very fat) were tried.

They were very short of wind--it is difficult to understand how they can get so fat, as they only get two and a half biscuits a day at the most.
