Hubbard. 111 Sunday May 8 - 1944 I finally found the bikes about 10 miles east of the Caf. It was in good shape but I did not feel like going over it in an hour back to fit again. Forgot my glasses & was more blind for the third time in the past week. I have no milk as basted permission & plan of tea. Having been up 30 hrs. I slept well. Monday May 9 - 1944 Got up 12:30 AM intending to start at 2:00 AM. I want to catch Max before he & Ethel return start for the south or they may do. I had so much trouble with the dogs that it was 4:30 before I finally got away. Reached cache & dug out at 10:00 AM & found Max with Ethel there too. They had been coughed in the storm & had not gone to Casey Culvert's & had killed 5 caribou. I enjoyed a good feed of fresh meat & some tea. We fed the dogs which were not strong after the long stretch on provision. I told Max of my trip x him & E, were interest ed in hearing this the gate had broken up there in 98 the Caf. 36 hrs later & we would never have gotten to the bikes here. We left at 7:20 AM for the south.
