112 Tue Mar 15, 14. Towchingwah, Tukapinguah, Kysto, and Ooqueah left this morning with komatiks loaded with walrus meat for the cache in Ruitstedt Fjord. I got out the moving picture machine and got pictures of the leaving. Green and Ek each hitched their teams today and made practice drives around the fjord. Okomadingwah, Okweatingwah and another eskimo came in after dinner from the south. Chocolate "mug-ups" in the evening about ten are very enjoyable. Wed Mar 16, 14. Mac, Ek, Green, Mine, Prewahts, and Otokashes left at about one thirty p.m. for Kamowinto and Crocker Land. I mounted the moving picture machine on a pressure ridge and got a few feet of pictures before the camera froze and refused to work. Doe is left in charge. He, Tank, Jet, and I are to stand 12 hour watches and each man gets the meal that comes on his watch. The eskimos who came up from the south and Oblanger left for Peterahwik later in the afternoon.
