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

Thursday Feb 12-14.
Breakfast at mine this morning, and

Prewalts began packing their sledges, and at

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

is very sick with the mumps. Kudlukt
