Captain made me a nice lamp shade out of wire and a piece of red window shade; also one for a dining room lamp. He is going to make two more at least. Went up the fjord in the "featty" with Mac. Wind was blowing out the fjord quite a breeze and it was hard work for me to row against it. I found it so cold that I got him to put me ashore about 2½ miles from the house and I came back along the trail on the steep north shore. Rather hard climbing sometimes over the rocks and icy grass slopes. In several places the talus slope is literally whitewashed with bird lince from the alk puffs, and there must be even more of the birds here in season than at Parker Snow Bay. Met several of the Eskimos on the slopes. Little Megipso was stamping two foos and Anakuk had Ahningat's baby in her
