After lunch sat in our tent talking over the situation.

Decided to get under way again as soon as there is any clearance.

Snowing and blowing, force about fifty or sixty miles an hour.
"February 26, Saturday .-- Richards went out 1.10 a.m.and found it clearing a bit, so we got under way as soon as possible, which was 2.10 a.m.

About 2.35 Richards sighted depot, which seemed to be right on top of us.

I suppose we camped no more than three-quarters of a mile from it.
