7 June, 1911

This morning I was somewhat tender-headed so didn't venture out till after lunch. It was a very beautiful day. Of course by this I mean we had lovely moonlight.

This evening I read a paper on "The Ice Barrier and Inland Ice." Everyone took such a genuine interest in the discussion that it went on close to midnight. I am going to keep this paper, which makes a very good bases for all future work on the subject.

Have also been sketching ice holes and shelters for Nelson to use.

It's my night for duty, so I am writing this in the silence. I won't get to go to bed until 7AM. Al pretty tired though.
