Seagulls here Today 139 (may 9) Eider ducks may 11. them there. They saw lots of sea-gulls up the fiord today; this the first time they have been seen. Sun may 10, '14. The wind is still with us, and ice-boating is in voguel! I broke a spud record -- and a runner besides, this evening by jibing too quickly. Doc and I got down about two tons of coal today to be sledged over. Mon may 11, '14. I climbed the hill above Sunnatag's grave today, and could not see the ice up the sound at all; -- nothing but open water everywhere. Nukapungnah, Arklio, and the boys brought in five rabbits tonight. We got over thirty-six bags of coal today. Wind went down about 11 p.m., and a light snow fell for a while. Doc saw eider ducks today.
