The wind was so flierce that most of our huts were al. Enost blown to pieces, though they .'were held together by wire. This blizzard lasted for days, for weeks, and it was impossible to keep the huts clear. If you shifted one sPadeful of snow, as likely as not the wind would fling into its place two or Lhree times the quantity. For whole da-ys together we were dependent on artificial light. No one so much as thought of warm food during those dlays Not only were our kitchens buried in snow, but we had no other means of heating water. The hurrI.

The men clung together in groups so aa not to lose sight of one another. Icy snow pene trated into the texture of the uni forms, and the cloth was transformed into a hard sheeting of ice.
