Musson left here on 8 Septem (123
for the distinct and amicable
understanding between him and
me was that the Expedition was go-
ing to trade for additional skins
for the desired kahpetaks and such
specimens as were lacking from
our series. Mac says that this
puts him in wrong and that he
is not willing to do any more
trading after all that has been
said. To-day however he agreed
to trade for additional finish-
ed kahpetaks as opportunity
might offer and the matters
is left thus.
Walked out about two miles a-
long north shore of bay - to point
this side of "Jo's Valley" - midday.
Rosy clouds over Cape Alexander region.
Celebrated Halloween this evening
by playing "Jenkins" with the
Eskimos. They are experts in lo-
cating the coin under the hand.

up in front of the glacier. He and
Sammler cut through and found
the ice arched about a foot above
