children helped by turning the reel crank, when finished the reel with the wire on weighed 30 pounds. Okomadingnah & Enaloo, Mekushu, Oblanyu's daughter, Koolatingnah & son; Ahweeayn, and Kangah came today - four komatiks. Tank got away this morning with his division komatiks. They had a splendid day, only 17 below and no wind Mon Feb. 9-14. Ek got away with his division this morning in a stiff easterly wind. He has not been out much since he has had the mumps and I dont envy him his sudden plunge into the long trip. I ran th engine a long while today and it was so warm in the house that we had to keep the front door open to keep cool. Rasmussen came very shortly after dinner and we all found him to be a very likeable man. We talked and played the Victrola until 1 AM.
