Cape Chalon is a very bold precipiton 8
momentary formed by a trap dice.
He and his brother Ahpelah (Dr Cook's second
man) have an igloo here - I did not
have a chance to talk with the
latter. Their igloo is crowded. There
seemed to be nine people in it, count-
ing three children, and Oguwig bunked
in with them. By midnight Ace-
camrodiningkah and I were sound
asleep in the snow igloo. It was my
first experience in a lodging of that
cind, but I slept fairly well and
was surprised that it was seven o'clock.
When Ace turned out - they too
I learned that Oobloish and Ahdeka-
hinga had slept on the two Kelmuts
there. They had placed side by side and
spread skins on to make a bed, when
they had slept stripped as usual -
at 7:40 this.
25 March... Temp 7:40am - 15° (-15°)
Somewhat hazy No wind Fine day
Jotiek came in to call on me. He says
that Kolootengua is a fine man for
my trip and so too is Tanchingua.
He thinks that conditions on Melville
Bay will be good. I hope he is right!
We had tea and biscuit and
got under way about 8 o'clock,
leaving Oguwig behind.
