94 Kudlukt is not getting well very fast and it is certain that he cannot go on the trip with the rest. Wee Wee, the South Greenland woman is running the kitchen now under Jot's supervision and is doing ex- cellent work. She is very different from in temperament from these northern Eskimos. Thursday Feb 12-14. Breakfast at mine this morning, and immediately after it was over Mac, Mize, I, Prewalts began packing their sledges, and at noon started north. Rasmussen, Jot, and I were down on the ice to see them off. There was too much wind and broken ice for travel to the southward. Mac has a splendid Team of eleven dogs. I started the engine immediately after they left, to give the battery a final charge, but in about two hours they were back - having found the ice gone and water covering the ice-foot near Littleton Island, so I shut the plant down. We moved Eqingwah into my room, in Doc's bunk today so that I could doctor him and he would be better housed. He is very sick with the mumps. Kudlukt
