 This side of the summit the snow has not been disturbed for several days and has drifted high and hard, making it hard to penetrate.
 Should no further accidents occur, No. 2 should arrive here tonight at six o'clock and No. 1 should be at White Horse at nine or ten o'clock this morning.
 On the summit last night it was 30 below, the wind blowing gale and the snow drifting badly.
 At Bennett, Pennington and White Horse the temperature was the same with no wind.
