Light wind near house but calm beyond river gorge. Wore Neshka. Adjusted seismograph this morning and got magnet to running again all night. Began work again on "Cluett" article in p.m. Of course the men, Estirico fashion, did not start today. Ahkpoohshao having decided that he must get a supply of meat for Ahneenah. She needs it all right, but he could have gotten it before. It is always well to set an early date when dealing with these natives, to provide against delays -
