(241) did she appear unfriendly toward them, unless the first rush may be considered so. Nevertheless they kept their eyes on her. Dr. Grinnell and his party are due about 4:20, so I have the problem of regulating the food supply. If I give [illegible] too much, they may not put in an appearance, and if I do not give them enough they may stray off somewhere. I shall not be able to show Brownie feeding the young, even if she is there, as she no longer does it. 7:30.
