APRIL, 1911 continued. 

 \-lth, 1911 continued. 



4 p.m. Anemometer readings : 9458,52 ; 9459,12 ; 9459,93 ; 9460,66. Barometer falling. 

 Temperature rising. Very heavy drift, must have had heavy snow to the southward of 

 us, or the summer crust must have been worn from the plateau snow and the wind has 

 been able to reach the powdery snow beneath. 



6 p.m. Barometer falling and temperature rising. Wind strong and drift very heavy. 



8 p.m. Barometer falling. Temperature high and rising. Wind up to force 12 in gusts. 

 Average about 50 miles per hour. Heaviest drift yet experienced. 



April loth, 1911. 



6 a.m. Temperature abnormally high. Barometer about the same as last night. Slight 

 N.W. wind. Anemometer was again unscrewed by the wind last night, but no damage 

 was done. Sky obscured by dense and broken snow-cloud. Snow-squalls to N. and S. 



8 a.m. Heavy drift moving along Cape Adare from the S.S.E. The clouds to the W. appear 

 as blunt-nosed cones with their points directed towards the W.N.W. Temperature high, 

 plus 21 F. Barometer steady. The thermograph was completely snowed in this 

 morning, but I have cleared it and find that it was working quite well. 



12 noon. Temperature high and rising. Barometer falling. Drift moving now from E.S.E., 

 and now from the S.E. on Cape Adare, also from Warning Glacier and Sir George Newnes 

 Glacier. Flocks of Antarctic and Snowy Petrels have come inshore, and this points to 

 heavy weather at sea. 



Sky obscured with snow-cloud. Cumulus at intervals in the bay in front of the Western 

 Mountains. N.W. wind of force 3 blowing here. 



2 p.m. Wind varying between W.N.W. and E.S.E. Force 1 to 0. Temperature falling 

 slightly. Barometer rising. Sun shining through snow-cloud haze. 



4 p.m. Temperature falling. Barometer rising. Southerly and easterly airs. Clearing to 

 W. and S. 



6 p.m. Calm till 5.30. Now South wind of force 3 to 4. Barometer rising a little. 



8 p.m. Sky clearing. Cirro-cumulus radiant, radiant point N. Wind due S. Blowing fairly 

 hard. Temperature and barometer steady, both fairly high. 



April IQth, 1911. 



8 a.m. Wind force 2, S.IOW. Clear to the S., but otherwise the sky is clouded with stratus 

 moving slowly from the E.S.E. Temperature steady. Barometer high. 



10 a.m. Sky cleared except stratus to N. and scud moving from the E.S.E. 

 Wind increased a little. Barometer rising. Temperature steady. 



4 p.m. Sky has clouded over again. Slight S. breeze all day, force 4 to 2. 



Barometer high and rising. Thermometer falling steadily but slowly. Mountains 

 shrouded in cloud above 5,000 feet. 



8 p.m. Heavy Nimbus cloud on the southern horizon. Sky clouded with Stratus. Wind 

 S.IOW. force 2 gradually decreasing. Barometer high and rising. Temperature falling 

 slowly. 



April 11th, 1911. 



6 a.m. Calm or westerly airs. Slight granular snow falling. 



Sky covered with Stratus. Deep black cloud along the southern and western 

 horizons. Barometer still high, 29'666. Thermometer falling.
