We are in every respect absolutely comfortable, though cold, in the Hut. There is unlimited biscuit and unlimited seal meat.We have heaps of cocoa, coffee, and tea, and a sufficiency of sugar and salt. In addition we have a small store of luxuries: chocolate, raisins, oatmeal, sardines, and jams, which will serve to vary the fare. One way or another we shall manage to be very comfortable during our stay here.

Am quite beside myself with a full stomach. Must not get indigestion.

I bet Amundsen doesn't have chocolate or raisins. And jam.

Actually, I bet he does.
