Males 1960 Jammel Nov. 26 Cape Hallett, Antarctica. I cant recall the day in any detail even 24 hours later. I knew I was busy most of the day with the seal business. I made a round of the shenery in the afternoon & spent the evening cleaning some of the skeletal parts of the seal. The glacier sea water for the next time Nov. 27 Cape Hallett, Antarctica - Sunday. Up fairly early, I wrote a few notes then went to work on the pugical skin & shenned out the limbs. This took me until 3 P.M. I then spread out the skin To let the shenae get to them, the large skin being so stiff I could not work at it the w temperature was down so that working bare handed was uncomfortable. Made a round of the shenery from 6-4 S.P.M checking mostly nest which needed it. In late evening picked up 3 clutches of penguin eggs. Nov. 28 Cape Hallett, Antarctica. Made a round of the shenry in the morning after first cleaning up some back notes. Returned to base at 2 P.M. Spent the afternoon shennning the limbs out of the large seal skin. The day was warm & sunny and has been the past couple of days.
