work going on we are using a
great deal of light. The batteries
show a markedly greater efficiency
now that they are in a warm
locker.
About 3 p.m. four komeleki
arrived and there was great ex-
itement for a while. The arrivals
were Ek Kndlukts and sooner
and baby, Oblanya, Itookashu
and busted Klayzhu and mother,
and Hendrick Ohlsen - an educated
south Greenland eskimo who is in
the employ of Rasmussen. Ek says
Rasmussen treated him with splendid
hospitality, and went with him to
get a piece of the meteorite below
Cape York. Ohlsen was educated
in Denmark and speaks no English,
so Ek is the only one of us who
can talk with him, except in
our broken eskimo.
Some of our men took more
provisions for the Crocker Land
trip up to Littleton Island today,
and brought back a few loads
of oil from the point.
