128 ET The women are working on Mac's kayak, putting the struts for the frame which Carinsyn-- has just finished. Snow today. Thursday July 6-1914 Taking advantage of the high tides we are get- ting the lumber and other equipment out for the house to be built on the island. We were only awake late after midnight. The weather has been calm for several days and is ideal for such work. She men are trimming a telephone line up in the rocks this no wolves have been killed since Sunday when the ground got thin. The motor boat is running well and looks very nice in her new paint. Friday July 7-1914 Weather still calm with the high tides and we are using it all to advantage hauling the heavy engine and batteries to the island. It has just down a mooring for the motor boat in front of the house. This is much more convenient than pulling up a heavy anchor every time we wish to go out. Jerome's age "ETAH" made this thing.
