Eskimos motioned to me to take Traps which I did and followed him. I had gone but a few hundred yards when I saw a ground squirrel run to its burrows. I found a number of burrows and set all the Traps I could before dark. Theyacks not seem to be abundant but I have hopes of getting a fair series. Friday Aug 10. Found three Spermophiles in my traps this morning, and set the remainder of my traps in likely places. Saw several wolves and got along shot at one but missed. Saturday Aug 11. Took only one Spermophile today. Reset a number of my traps. The ground squirrels live on little ridges, a few feet higher than the surrounding marshy tundra and as there is usually only one burrow on a ridge and they are quite widely scattered, it requires a great deal of work to get any. They do not seem to be very active as none have been seen since the first one, except those caught in traps. About noon I shot a male Caribou quite close to camp. The Eskimo was hunting and in following the animal it happened to run toward the camp. Seeing it across a river, I went after it with my rifle and killed it at the first shot. He丘pped it and partially prepared the skin for drying. The Eskimo killed a smaller one yesterday after hunting all day and came back this morning with some of the meat, I should judge about half, and I presume that he ate the rest of it. Sunday Aug 12. No Spermophiles in my traps today, though I had all out and set as well as possible. The animals have not.
