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.
