Koludena arrived bringing Ekblaw - Dr. Hunt had been called northward to attend an Eskimo who had been severely wounded in the leg by a killing iron. Quick round trip of 23 hours including necessary 2 or 3 hour rest at ship - Koludena stopped at the glacier at Sulek [illegible], to serve as a relay, but Erik came right through on the return just the same. Ekblaw of course greatly regretted occurrence. He had thought that I should get as far as Upernivik. We talked over plans for me to stay in ship or go to Una- nak in acceptance of Peters invita- tion to stay at his house but eat with the C.L.S. men because he had not food enough and could not make full arrangements for me to live there - Acting on Ekblaw's decided advice I decided to stay on board "Cluett" till spring.
