chelos 1958 Gulo luscro 3 June Pitnegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska See our fresh tracks at the north of the river. 4 June I walked up one mile creek To a high rounded hill which henceforth shall be known as Wolverine Mt. and was sitting looking the countryside over and enjoying the pleasant sunshine when I noted a small dark wolverine that was downwind from me although several hundred feet lower. It smelled me and ran, pausing every few moments to gaze and smell for me. It disappeared along the creek where there may be a den. About 10 minutes later I spotted another in the opposite direction hunting among the tussocks. They, like the foxes, always seem to run or lope along. There was no doubt that he was after mice or birds nests from his searching activity. This one was bigger and much lighter than the other one. Either one I could have shot had I the rifle with me 11 June Mule our one on layoon en way in Today.
