FRIDAY, 29 (29-337)
1 load of spiles morning loaded for morning Takes 4 1/2 hrs to make round trip. 10 below zero. Snowed a little. George says there was one foxe fox moved at Clemens, & two at quarry, while I saw a track on Jordan Bay.
SATURDAY, 30 (30-336)
more snow two loads spiles to Cement Works I tried to get a shot at a fox in swamp ahead of Cross' dog, but it kept under cover till 2pm when dog left it. Several fozes still about. When snow is as heavy as now, foxes like to circle in the thickest place they can get, the dog can only walk, so that they have the best of it.
