1 frozen meat from the chunks on the
meat rack. About 2 o'clock Genevieve
+ two small boys began digging the snow
away from the entrance and window
of Metis's igloo. The igloo had been closed
for along time and there was much frost
in it. This 2 + 7 cleaned out as well
as they could and at 3 o'clock two pri
mar stores were set going to dry
it out and warm it. We improved
the chance to make tea + have some
crisp biscuits. K + J and two boys went
up to a little lake near by where IK
dug a hole through the ice in the
bottom of a hole already there and
we brought down water.
Metis's igloo is large, clean + in excellent
condition - Seems quite like a palace
after the last 13 nights on McEvilly
Bay. Of which we spent in the little tent
Thursday (13th) crossing its bay.
Kolodensara presented us with
a 30-lb chunk of narwhal which we
proceeded to chop at and eat from -
This also provides us with the best slab
for the remaining lamps of the igloo.
22 April Sunday. B, calm and
"Miss Bill" is Metis's wife, hence
I must have seen her at Petrauk.
