I got back tonight after a bully trip. A crowd of Esquimos were hunting down the line and I had a chance to shoot two walrus. I got them both.
Signe was civil for a while but I had a great time in its igloo as I am part of his children & we played cards & drew pictures by the hours. I was really sorry when the time came to return and I will not soon forget the visit.
We had a time getting over the glacier with our heavy boat.
