and Ahatingwah, and Klayohn who came up
with Ahweagingwah, left for the south this
morning, over the ice cap via Brother
John's Glacier. It has been snowing all
day. -- I excavated the six

about five feet of snow. I want to
get them up the hill before the snow
in the ravine melts. -- Wee Wee
gave the floor the weekly scrubbing this afternoon.
We were just beginning to wonder if it
wasnt time for something to happen, when three
komatiks came in thru the snow. Sekmann,
Posidloonah, and Harrigan, - the latter two
with their wives and babies, came up
from Oomanak and brought mail from
Ch, Tank, and Peter. Sekman's wife and
son are very sick with some malady
which Peter fears is a contagion brought
up from South Greenland and which
may be an epidemic. They want Doc
to come down if possible. We gave
these people food since they came
on our business: Supplies are needed
at Oomanak - the women left in
charge thru having raised havoc
with the food stores.
