A severe blizzard has been blowing for two days, with the lowest barometer yet recorded this trip and, one of the lowest ever recorded in the Antarctic.
All yesterday the wind whooped round the chimney pipes and ventilators, sometimes exceeding 50 miles au hour, with drift snow so thick it shut off the vision as if by a wail.
Barometers were down to 27.82. Few men went “over the top” between the houses, preferring the tunnel, for tha only way to steer was by occasional glimpses of a cloud-covered moon and; the direction of the wind.
