What he used was the remains of the section of carcass that has been on the floor of the igloo for the past five days as our meat supply - His wife went out to help him feed the dogs.

Koludena left this morning at 4 o'clock for North Star Bay via the ship, where he will get a load of supplies for us - He thought that he could not cross Melville Bay after his forced march.
