3 January - Monday.
Clear, cloudless, calm over. little wind.
Temp. min - 22°; 9a.-17°; 3p.-18½°
Dr. Janquary and I walked out to Parker Snow
Point and back, a good 8-mile tramp.
Local wind at the point very keen. On our
way out we met Ahugmalokto, wife &
6 mo. baby coming in from Cape York
in one march. Some distance behind
him came Alatutsiak on his way
home from Cape York. He lost two poor
dogs on his way down, but Ahugmalokto
loaned him two good ones in their
place. According to custom these re-
main Ahugmalokto's property but
Alatutsiak may use them as long as
he wishes to keep them. Janquary &
I took a good look at the spot where the
"Cluett" was moored to the cliff and
were again glad that she was not long
in that dangerous position.
After dinner Snefliak and Mersa
