Dec. 15
The day has been spent anchoring my 6 cage.
I obtained some 5 gallon tins & other
containers from the dump. Three of the
enclosures were then held by anchored
by wiring them to 3 each of these
containers filled with rock & sand. It
seems that I hope that this should be
sufficient to anchor them against any
fale were likely to get. The other 3 were
anchored by large rocks spaced about
their periphery. In the evening
was "masterman of Lake Abalone" centrally
the worst picture ever made.
Dec 16 Cape Hallett, Antarctica: (Friday)
Round of shnecy in A.M from 10-12 A.M
To be more precise. After lunch & writing
up the notes I went out for a couple
of hours of penguin movie photography.
Spent several hours in the evening
working on my steel cage. For this
I am converting a large crate, 10 x 4
x 5 feet which I pulled up from the
shore by means first thing in the
morning. The movie "Top of the World" was
a real bomb, the worst ever, that since
had been in Alaska when it was being
filmed I was glad to see it.
