Sat + Hal went out all day with their kayaks.
+ the former returned with a seal. She must have
been gone for H & his hunting in the whole boat to
their kayaks.
I took sights for chronometer correction + worked
up some azimuths x the big clock is doing well these
days.
Mac has found 18 varieties of wild flowers within
one minute's walk of The house. The river is full
of water & altogether the little village is really beau-
tiful.
Saturday 25-1914.
Absolutely calm. Sat, Hal + I all went
hunting. Sat must launch in his kayak + got nothing.
Hal went up to The Green fishing + got one seal
on the ice come the home. I built cairns for
marking the harbor on all prominent points &
islands from here to Sunrise Point. I went in
Hal's kayak taking a 22 rifle along. I shot 2
ducks + one seist.
I got back at 5:30 P.M. somewhat tired
as we carried off a good many bags of coal
right after breakfast.
The ship (Prometheus) is due at Dinner
at today. In a week we can begin to look
for elk + deer with our maid.
