Maler 1960 Journal No. 5 I shinned the last of the young penguins of last year that have been brought in. I was set to go to the station after lunch but we diverted to cleaning out the stored material in our sleeping gameaway hut. This consisted of a large pile of rolls of roofing material which were carried to a nearby hut for storage; the remain of a bar dating from when this was the recreation building; and a large iron boiler. Before supper then I shinned + sheltonized one adult Adelie & spent a large part of the evening repacking the 2 emperor penguin skins for shipment. I think I finally have ate waterproof (relatively) packing. Also performed a little experiment. I took the skin off the adult Adelie in one piece (same shipper 9 feet head) and put it out on the snow for the skuas. By late evening they had cleaned most of the fat off it without doing any damage to the skin. By the next morning (so I write this) they had it virtually all clean with a very few nicks in the skin to show for it. There it may be possible to enlist the skuas in cleaning penguin skins with
