10 December. Sunday. Ice 32° [145] 13,N5; 13,NS; 13,NS; B,S&I; 13,N&Y av.-10.20 -6.5°, -12°; -12°; -9°; -11.8°. min -26°; max -3° Finished my letters and Mac gave the pack- age to Accommodingwah to take to Omahah. I gave the Estinos the last two little plugs of Uppennick to- bacco that I had. He is much pleased to be the mail carrier. Eight cannatikks got away at 5:40 p.m. for the ship. Enalat finally in- sisted on going with Accommodingwah and Kaniahtsuah. Panikpah and Ahtooongwah and Kakotah also went - and the visitors in- cluding Mayah. Nicarping- uah went along to visit his traps along the Crystal Palace cliffs and two of the boys will hunt rabbits. Quite an exodus. Sixth perfect day in succession. Walked over to Bog Island and back before dinner. Venus is wonderfully brilliant. Last evening Mac spoke again of Fitz's having with my permis- sion opened some of his (Mac's) personal packages at North Star Bay and given the contents to the Estimos. I demanded more specific information and the matter seemed to simmer down to one package of cheap jewelry without Mac's name on it.
