Ineliak was over here this afternoon
and I loaned her one of my primus
stoves and gave her some solid alcohol
and candles. Captain Piestels gave her
some candles and kerosene, saying that

Ahnugodoblako started out with some
real meat and blubber for Pudtlak
when he left Cape York last Friday, but
he had to cache most of it at Arpat
on account of the leads in the ice.
Pudtlak is going to try to get it
tomorrow, but the storm now on
makes the prospect dubious. Inel.
