Chief connected up the toilets in any room
and the bathroom this morning and the cop-
tain had the latter room thoroughly cleaned.
Out for short walk on bay and shore, but the
walking was not good and my heel hurts me.
Stepped into a hidden hole in the bay ice 2' or so
deep. Water comes in over top of leannik. Cold, all
night. These holes, hidden under the mantle
of the recent heavy snow, are a source of dan-
ger on the bay ice and the pools between bay
ice and ice foot make it increasingly slip-
ficient to get ashore near the ship.
Chief took another series of photos of me
in my fur.
Copy of memo. in re. Dr. Hunt's work.
Bacteriology: Investigation of infections
sputum was carried on but brought
out no new new facts. Infections probably
those which were brought up by white men.
No Tuberculosis in the tribe but other
infections come in and are readily taken
and severely taken by Eskimos. Felons are
rather more common than among whites
at home.
Microscopic exam. blood white + Eskimos
no. of red corpuscles high. Haemoglobin
up to 100 on standard scale.
Collected 3 musk ox skins and heads of
Two bears for specimens + his Eskimos brought
in 2 musk ox specimen- skins & heads
