Walked out to Stara Island, 2 miles (1/15
from house, where Fitz and Jerome had
this cabin and tried the wireless after
it had failed at the house. The cabin
is in fair condition and would do
as a refuge, if we were so unfortunate
as to be burned out at headquarters.
Kahda and Megissu went with
me and the boys sharp eyes could
see some walrus out beyond us.
He killed two ravens which had gotten
carried in fox traps belonging to
Parrikpa and Alminah. Open
water stretches away beyond the island
and swings in a curve, convex eastward,
to the shore near Sunrise Point.
Long talk with Mac on Expd. matters.

This morning I started the aerio-
graph officially on its work -- but now
the electromagnet on it is not working well.
Two mile walk on the bay this afternoon,
sun hidden by clouds and highland.
Did some writing for use in my
"Chett" article for Mac.
Jot had his team out for a drive of
some miles, after an amusing stat
in which the dogs got away from him
with the Kamatik and he did not catch
them this side of Provision Point.
Jot got mad last night over my running
the typewriter and indulged in some
unwarranted luggage abuse it.
It seemed to me that he cried before he was
hurt, since I stopped anyhow at 10:05.
I told Mac to-day that if Jot had any com-
plaints to make that they should be made
to him (Mac) and not to me direct.
