Out with Dr. Hornt and Pudtlak
to seal blow-hole in the ice two miles
from "Cluett". Pudtlak bent down at once
smelled of the hole to determine its
freshness. I tested it and found
it musky. The hole is about an inch
across. Leaving Pudtlak to watch it,
Dr. Hornt walked in one direction
and I in another looking for a
second hole. We zigzagged over a
wide area, but without success.
Dr.'s course lay toward the ship and
he came in. Mine was outward and
I walked 8 or 9 miles before getting
back to the "Cluett". Pudtlak gave
up watching the hole after an hour
or so and went on out beyond Par-
kur Snow Point looking for a lead
beside which he might use his net for seal.
