Last night and yesterday afternoon a great
deed of snow came. This morning the thermometer
got above zero for awhile. The sun came out and
was so hot on the roof that there was a rain in
the attic when the snows commenced to thaw.
Els. and his men fed the last of our walrus
meat to their dogs. They left about 6:30 p.m.; all day
during there has been a smother of snow coming up
from the sea but this evening the breeze fell enough
to let them get away.
Hal and Joe are preparing to leave in the
morning. Doug left a number of dogs at Sitka
anchorage and he thinks they may not be getting the meat they
should have.
