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.
