 (daciers obscured. Fine sundogs at G p.m.

October 2nd, 1911. 



8a.m. Easterly airs. Cloudy. Very windy sky. Cirro-cumulus and hair-like Cirrus, 

 mackerel sky and mares' tails, arranged as a radiant from N.E. to S.W. and moving slowly 

 bodily from the S. Underneath this scud moves rapidly from the S.E. and banks up to tin- 

 S. of Cape Adare. 



Sir George Xewnes Glacier hidden by mist. Temperature steady and barometer 

 risen. (R. E. P.) 



5 p.m. Overcast all day. At 4.50 p.m. Dickason called me out to hear the roaring noise that 

 had suddenly started behind the Cape. I saw a cloud of snow rush over the hill from the 

 S.E. and a minute later a gust of wind of force 4 to 7 reached us at the hut. The wind 

 continues at present from the S.S.E. and S. (R. E. P. and H. D.) 



N.B. The thermograph record last week was only 4 days, as Campbell and Abbott 

 forgot to shift it, and the paper remained on until the 28th. There was thus a double 

 record on the previous paper. (R. E. P.) 



8p.m. S. wind of force 3 to 5 inclined to drop. Noise behind the Cape. Thickly overcast 

 with Nimbus haze. Glaciers obscured. Slight spicular snow. Snow fell this evening 

 as flakes of several grains each. (R. E. P.) 



10 p.m. Southerly wind of force 1 to 2. Noise behind the Cape. Thickly overcast with 

 Nimbus haze. Glaciers obscured. Slight granular snow. There have been some complete 

 lulls of wind between 9.30p.m. and 10p.m. (G. P. A.) 



October 37, 1911. 



8p.m. Barometer steady. Thermometer falling steadily. Calm or southerly airs. Clear 

 but hazy. An Alto-stratus and Cirro-stratus radiant point N. and S. Halo of 22 round 

 the sun. 



October 4th, 1911. 



6a.m. Barometer steady to falling. Thermometer falling ( 13 F.). Calm. Overcast 

 with Nimbus fog this morning, but now a large patch has cleared in the zenith. A lead 

 of open water close off Cape Adare to the westward is betrayed by the near presence of 

 the clouds of frost smoke. 



Leave for the West this morning. (R. E. P.)
