Passed a less uncomfortable night than
before. Kolostengway in while I was hav-
ing my coffee to ask for still more things,
just as Marc said about the last desiries
time for me to go !
Have given the men what I could from here
calc to Kolostengway - sleeping bags + cans. pr karsti
took too skin, pr Kamils, blanket shirt, to Ge-
mendal snowshoes, to Tanchiniguay, skitch
Hain.
At 8.30 left house (gave each ser-
vent 50 bre) and down afterwards was a
way on Abel's sledge after saying goodbye
to everyone. Stopped in front of igloos
for a few minutes + ca nine o clock
we were off in earnest, Abel + Katja
with sledges and loads. Good going
along the trail but rather hard away
from it. Some good scenery - Reach-
ed Toosuk about 2 p.m. and had quite
a reception. The school master (65 yrs
old) invited me to his house where I
had coffee, bread + butter + cold boiled
meat.
I had some money ready to
give him when his son's wife occupy-
ing the other end of the house pressed off-
ice on me so I accepted all as his
hospitality. Then I was invited over
to another igloo where I had more
coffee and some good baking powder.
