Another remarkable fine day for Etah. Tho
the wind seemed to me to be stronger at mid-
day on the fjord than it was on the glacier
yesterday. Kahda contributed the little
fish which he caught and which seem-
ed to be different from the ussual
large ones. To day I have thawed out
this and four of those brought back
from the lake near the Stemboldt gla-
cier and placed all five, wrapped
up separately in cheese cloth, in
75% alcohol in a five gallon milk
can - walked out across fjord and
back, ca 2\u012f-3 miles.
We have lived high to day. At oft. we had
the big trout that Ahminah caught yes-
terday. Joe "smothered" it a la Labrador
and it was delicious. Caribou steaks,
fried, for dinner at 4 p.m. Then had
merely a mug up in the evening.
27 October. Friday.

Etah is trying to disprove Mac's characteriza-
tion of its weather. This day has been best of
all. We went again to the glacier. I rode
up with Nucaipingwah and back with
Mac. Mac took Sammit, Nucaipingwah
and Akputishao, built cairn on south
wall of valley in line with stakes, measured
upial base lines and angles on cairn and
stakes and took angles and base line for length
of lake and distance from front of glacier -
I went up northern valley to build cairn
in line with stakes, but found trip along
