Katziats is coming down soon. Inetliak is going to be confined at Kiaktek. Kashinguai's wife is Pudtlaki's sister. We shall miss the family, and I am sorry to have them go, but there will be less drain on the ship's food supply. [Ootah told me where heare their they are in his igloo or Keatek] Mate started and nearly fin- ished a sledge to take the place of Pudtlaki's, using one of the planks that I brought up and a board from the after house. Three mile walk alone on bay. 14 April. Friday. Clear, cloudless, calm except for very light N. wind drawing across ship at 9 a.m. Temp. min.-19°; 12m. 0°; 3:30h. -2°; 9 h. -12° Mate finished his kamalite and the crew brought in first load of ice in it this morning. Pretty good sledge though.
