ship to come in - but she does (25- not appear! Left about 4:40 p.m. on "Inger Lis" with K.R., Hendriks, Ajako (Pmagasut) and Bozeman for Saunders Island for pear and to hunt walrus between there and Dalgrymple Rock. Full notes are in pocket notebook for next two days. Beautiful weather. Cloudless or nearly so, and calm or light variable winds from west & north. Spent first night in "Kend's Harbor" at west (or northwest) corner of Saunders Island, close to the wonderful bird cliffs which still are densely populated with muses, females and young. The males have gone south. Many herring gulls and a few burquastes. Wednesday morning we motored out through open ice to Eider Duck
