An average day's food at present consists of ｽ lb.

of seal with ｾ pint of tea for breakfast, a 4- oz.

bannock with milk for lunch, and ｾ pint of seal stew for supper.
That is barely enough, even doing very little work as we are, for of course we are completely destitute of bread or potatoes or anything of that sort.

Some seem to feel it more than others and are continually talking of food; but most of us find that the continual conversation about food only whets an appetite that cannot be satisfied.

Our craving for bread and butter is very real, not because we cannot get it, but because the system feels the need of it." Owing to this shortage of food and the fact that we needed all that we could get for ourselves, I had to order all the dogs except two teams to be shot.
