Took a load of fresh fruit, vegetables and ite anâ€" chors ‘at the last minute from the Ruppert. At 0400° the barrier started to give away so we threw off all our lines on the ice except the bow line. After we had swung fos I'sDAY obr bow into the ice, that line was used to allow us to get on the ice to move supplies to a safer place further back on the batrrier, and to take on a dog team and sled with full journeying equipment, including a good sized seal for food for the § Sunday, February 18 "Tied up to the ice. . . . The barrier is dangerously undermined zo we didn‘t moor alongside. â€"In the afterâ€" noon a: bunch of us took a walk to Little America. The pressure ridge is much higher than two weeks ago, due to increased pressure. .. . Played around on the rim of a crevasse for a while teasing a seal that was loafâ€" ing around. Here and there along the flag marked trail, dead seals are piled up awaiting transportation to Little America. All the supplies have been moved to Little America on East Ridge camp. Little America looked like a busy miners camp. ‘Stores piled up all over and buildâ€" ings ‘that looked like match boxes stuck up in unorganized positions. Work was just being completed on the radio shack. A fine mess hall had been constructed across from that building. Most of the tunnels are caved in, so ‘there is plenty of work in store for the winter party digging out the supplies buried under tons of ice and snow. Tracâ€" tors and dog teams were busy haulâ€" ing supplies of Little America to East Ridge for safety‘s sake in case the ice should give way from under Little America. Returned to the ship with three dog teams and a trate of Wings the Admiral gave us. They returned ‘to Little America with our mail that had to be canâ€" gelled.
