Sunday February 1-7-14 I have been sick with the coughing and vomiting which my first love escaped. A new trouble is looming on the horizon. He has contracted angora from his days down the coast and other specimens are showing signs from of the same disease. February 7th - 8th 9th 10th I started the morning with a few -- fringes as an advance party with Cafe Thom- das Thetford as our objective. We were to hunt on the way leaving each, I went for three it follows. We picked up Plummer at Cafe Thoma and Community. At the latter place we were held up one day on account of a heavy southerly wind. Crossing the Sound was hard work with the heavy loads. At Page Har- bors we stayed one an extra day it cost my. I said home was forced to go back after this load which he had left on the ice when the days became too warm not to advance further. She joins us and we had a tremendous round for that minuscule little sleety.
