90 Thurs Feb 5-14 When I got up at 1 am to go on watch today I found a big seal on the dining table. A surprising thing to see when get half asleep, but it is also a good thing because it means good fresh meat. At two thirty p.m. Sipan, Cqingwah and Inaahs, Posidloonah and his son arklu, Ahpelingwah, and Ahwetingwah arrived: "Hotel Iqloowahmel" is becoming popular. Teddylingwah, Koolatina & Klem and their little girl came later. Friday Feb 6-14. On my watch this morning (12 to 4 a m), there was an explosion in the igloo next door. Touchingwah attempted to fill an oil stove with gasoline and was badly burned in the face as a result of the explosion which followed. Doc went over and treated him. Ootah came this morning. He was the only arrival today. I ran the engine from noon to five p.m. Walked over to the point and dumped a case of lubricating oil back.
