4 p.m. This morning after breakfast we could see drift and snow rushing to the W.N.W. off 

 Cape Adare to the N. of us, and across the sea ice a mile or two out from us N.W. gusts 

 were also sweeping the snow along in front of them. Finally a bank of snow was also being 

 driven from the S. end of Warning Glaicer and over the ice from the E.S.E. The noise of 

 wind in the cliffs increased, and the area free from drift became much circumscribed. 



At 4 p.m. I woke to find the weather calm and the wind ceased and to realise that only 

 a few sporadic gusts with heavy drift had reached us.
