25 October. Wednesday. B, N3; (B, N2 ?); B, N23; B/N24; B/N26 max 1° 8a, 1°; 12m ; 4h, 0°; 8h, -3.5°; 12h-3. min.-5.8° Cloudless, brilliant day without much wind. Considered a rarity at Etah. Eight Kamtiks took the whole population except Parikpa and Abuksumquwah and Nive and her two small children up to the lake at the head of the fjord. Mac, Jot, Stukashe, Nucarpingwah and I went up into the glacier and set a row of iron stakes across it. Oodie and Kakochie hunted rabbits, the former get- ting one and the latter three. Oodie got a ptarmigan too. The rest of the crowd fished through the ice 50-75 ft from the end of the glacier. Ice 23½ inches thick, water 12-13 feet deep. Rain is still flowing under the glacier for we could feel the lake ice moving under our feet coincidentally with extensive cracking sounds, and the water overflowed the ice when the holes were chopped through it. The cracking of the ice may how- ever be due to the pressure of the slow- ly moving glacier. During the winter the pressure arches up the ice near the glacier so that a person may walk into the spots or tunnel thus formed. Akputishes & his family (Ahningah, Megissu & Kahda) caught three large and two small salmon trout. Near some Mr Captain Corner who came up without any hooks. He thought that Mac had them whereas Mac had given them to him yesterday. It was hard walking on the glacier, but our Kamtiks stuck to the ice pretty well, if we kept the soles free from snow. Went into two-meal a day regime.
