13 April Thursday Clear, cloudless, calm. Temp. min -17°; 9a. -1°; 12m. 0°; 2p. +2°; 9h. -12° Pudtlak and family left at 12:40 today with their movables packed into two Kamatiks, one being Pudtlak's which the crew have been using for ice tc and the other Kashinguai's. Ka-shingua let Pudtlak take five of his dogs and P. added three of the four seven months old puppies to make up a team. It was an odd team all right and the puppies made a great fuss at starting. They wanted to stay at the ship, but the whip and the other dogs finally persuaded them to go on, and the outfit disappeared in the distance. The other puppy was left behind; it is Alakutsiak's. Photos. 46-1, 8+04 Packing Kamatiks beside the meat cairn on shore.
