Clear.
  The North-west [northwest] gale continued
through last night & to-day with
unabated fury. It was so cold early
this morning that Jim wore a
heavy sweater & mittens. By 9 A.M.
the clear sunlight began to tell &
the rest of the day was not too
cool for comfort.
  I walked in along the road
to Stone farm about 7.30 A.M.
Only a few birds singing. Peeled
off some large flakes of very fine
Birch bark & brought it back to
the boat. Jim tinkering about
his carpenter work as usual.
  Jim rowed me over to Lakeside
at 3 P.M. I spent night there
being joined by F.M. Chapman [Frank Michler Chapman] &
Hobart Nichols the artist who arrived
by stage at 7 o'clock.
