The bodies of two of his pups (1/23)
were found to-day. They were the
best two too. One got caught on
the hill before the blizzard and
was afraid to come down. Hunger
and the storm finally drove him
down, but he lost his way in
the blinding snow and froze to
death. The other, the biggest of Mac's
brunch, got mixed up with some
of the big dogs here and was
killed. The half-eaten body was
found on the ice or ice foot by
Kah-wee-ahk-suah.

Across fjord at midday, a two mile walk
that was not very agreeable on account
of the high wind and the smother of drift-
ing snow in the air. Getting lights
every day!
Excitement to-day was the breaking
out of a fire in We-We's igloo beneath
the house. Igloosnahni was down
there in Mayak's case, but the man
went to sleep and the boy upset the
stove or spilled the oil out of it
somehow and set stuff on the bed plat-
form afire. The smell of smoke a-
wakened Mayak and he put out
the blaze before much damage
had followed. Dangerous all right!
