Friday June 24, 1915
Rain and Snow my mind +32°
The hills are shrouded in fog & I am shrouded
in gloom since I feel that it have been confined then
the long winter was penance enough for all mortal sin.
Sunday June 27, 1915
Clear again and the river running full. Calm.
On Friday we put the sail away on the boat &
took her out to Sunrise Point. There was open
water about one mile to the west; the ice extended up
by [illegible] Littleton Island but in that direction we saw
numerous leads.
We have been having more snow with occa-
sional showers. Seals come up thru the cracks
which have opened in the heather.
I think that I have noted the fact that Mrs. & Mr. Juck + 2 are living in tents.
Since there is no water we see no birds. Even
crabs have appeared on our table only twice lately. Yesterday
he got some Burgomaster eggs in which he found young
birds. Fish have opened around the ice in the Glacier lake.
Today Mrs. & I took the Katie on a bournthill
and went to Littleton Island (at least while I write that is the
plan and unless I note something to the contrary much will be the
order of procedure.)
This afternoon 2h, J., S., C., K., & I drove
up to the lake and fished. We got right, the largest?
