		<description><![CDATA[Placid conditions last for a very short time in these regions. I got up at 5 this morning to find the weather calm and beautiful, but to my astonishment an opening lane of water between the land and the ice in the bay. The latter was going out in a solid mass. The ship discovered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A quiet day with little to record. The ship lies peacefully in the bay; a brisk northerly breeze in the forenoon died to light airs in the evening &#8211; it is warm enough, the temperature in the hut was 63º this evening. We have had a long busy day at clothing &#8211; everyone sewing away [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My anxiety for the ship was not unfounded. Fearing a little trouble I went out of the hut in the middle of the night and saw at once that she was having a bad time &#8211; the ice was breaking with a northerly swell and the wind increasing, with the ship on dead lee shore; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our house has assumed great proportions. Bowers&#8217; annexe is finished, roof and all thoroughly snow tight; an excellent place for spare clothing, furs, and ready use stores, and its extension affording complete protection to the entrance porch of the hut. The stables are nearly finished &#8211; a thoroughly stout well-roofed lean-to on the north side. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hut is becoming the most comfortable dwelling-place imaginable. We have made unto ourselves a truly seductive home, within the walls of which peace, quiet, and comfort reign supreme. Such a noble dwelling transcends the word &#8216;hut,&#8217; and we pause to give it a more fitting title only from lack of the appropriate suggestion. What [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ship had a poor time last night; steam was ordered, but the floe began breaking up fast at 1 A.M., and the rest of the night was passed in struggling with ice anchors; steam was reported ready just as the ship broke adrift. In the morning she secured to the ice edge on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We took up our abode in the hut to-day and are simply overwhelmed with its comfort. After breakfast this morning I found Bowers making cubicles as I had arranged, but I soon saw these would not fit in, so instructed him to build a bulkhead of cases which shuts off the officers&#8217; space from the [...]]]></description>

There was very much less snow everywhere than I had ever seen. The ski run was completely cut through in two places, the Gap and [...]]]></description>

We rose late, having breakfast at nine. The morning promised well and the day fulfilled the promise: we had bright sunshine and practically [...]]]></description>

The wind was strong from the S.S.E. yesterday morning, sweeping over the camp; the temperature fell to 15º, the sky became overcast. To the south the land outlines were hazy with drift, so my dog tour was abandoned. In the afternoon, with some moderation of [...]]]></description>
