A walk on the ice with Tank. I wore my deerskin mukluk, sheepskin trousers and Eskimo kamikks and was neither 'too warm nor too cold but just right. We walked about two miles straight out from the house, the electric light gleamed brightly from that distance, like the street lights of a distant city. Mon Dec 8-13. Green and Ek with their divisions arrived home about 12.30 p.m. They report having had a very successful trip, - smooth ice all the way from here to Annaratak, and smooth ice out across the sound for a long distance -- where they saw numerous bear tracks. The surprising thing we learned from their trip was the great difference in temperature between Etah and the coast farther north. There seems to be about 20 degrees lower temperature there than here; the boys had it 39 below and said they felt it was much colder than usual. We drew lots for the night watches and I don't have one till Wednesday morning. Finished the small oil stove today, there is a reduction in weight of 1.2 pounds.
