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.
