Sunday Oct. 13 - 1913.
Hal and Tank were fishing in the lake on
the glacier but got no bites.
We + I went overland to Life Boat Cove,
then down to Littleton Inland and back to flag
down on the plateau. We had a pretty tough
walk altogether. There was wind and a driv-
ing snow. Coming back one did not know
where we were and I half way expected that
we would have to spend the night out.
We slept a good deal with our
soaked blanket shirts puzze to our heads. I
killed two ptarmigan on the way out.
Monday Oct. 13 - 1913.
Worked on the aerial all day changing
the wire from the high hill to the ridge deck
of the house. This arrangement was given a
thorough test in the days following but no
results were obtained except that some static
was heard.
Tuesday Oct. 14 - 1913.
Set up marks on Raindeer Point
to be used in magnetic work. Erected the
magnetic tent over the site of cleared ground below
Nellika's home. Hal went hunting and returned
with hare and ptarmigan.
