Tue May 5 -14.
Great excitement at home
today was caused by the
arrival of Nukapingnak and
Arklis. They came in on one
patched-up komatik with six
dogs, bringing a note from
Mac saying all was well.
The day has been devoted to family
reunions and general enjoyment
of the home-comers. Nukapingnak
seems to have grown a few inches
around the chest since seeing his
three weeks old son.
Wed May 6 -14.
The visiting eskimos left this
morning. Oblaugu went them to
get his tent at Nerke; his family
dis living in Lipsius igloo next
door.
The little girls are playing dolls
eskim fashion, carrying fox skins
in a handkerchief tied around the neck,
like their mothers carry babies in the
hood of the kapetah.
