General Account
13 July
Up at 0900 and van troops on T5. Skinned
the rest of morning and wrote up notes in
afternoon and went hunting meat for the
meats. In the evening set out troops on T#9
and van T5 again. USBS still during the
wrevel to transport equipment and gear up
from the logoon. Retired at 1200.
14 July
Up at 0900 and van the trop lines. Skinned
in the early afternoon. S Shanks, Reverola
and the others from the Sagecanisiktok party
arrived between 1500 and 1800. We shot
the breeze, and I had them over to my hut
for dinner. Afterwards, I ran the trop lines
again, and skinned in the late evening.
15 July
Up at 0900 (notweld ca 0100) and van the trop
lines. Back and breakfast in my hut with
the other ARL workers. We lingered over the
meal. Kieth stepped out for something and came
back in to report a "smoldering fire" in the quonset
where they were staying. John Morande started
through the door when a blast of flames
suddenly came forth. There was a strong westerly
wind and this quickly whipped the fire into
an unmanageable holocaust. We all grabbed
five extinguishers (C12 type) but could
make no dent in the flames. Both of Unneet's
fire-fighting waysos (C12 tanks) were
brought into play, but nothing had any effect.
