Cable General Account 7 June-Cort specimens obtained from Wainwright on 6 June. Brock and Maher were not able to leave for the Meade today because of mechanical trouble with plane. They will go as soon as the bolts are fixed. 8 June Brock and Maher left for the Meade at 1300. In the morning Henry and I talked with Max and a USGS man named Sable who was familiar with Beaufort. We later tentatively decided to try to get Childs down on Agist Island near mouth of mouth of Nitrogea and south of Beaufort. We spent the rest of the morning processing some of the Wainwright specimens. Rovanda and I went out in a coracle along part of the beach ridge and outskirts central marsh just north of the Barrow site between 1300 and 1500 At 1535 left Barrow with Rovanda and Brewes via Wien, Lockheart flying, to Half-Moon-Thre, to vicinity of Cape HalKett and return along the cost to Barrow. In general between Barrow and Half-Moon-Thre ground about 20% exposed from snow cover. Lots of water every where, just east of Admiralty Bay, high cutter polygons with prominent terraces become quite common. Flying between 200-400 ft Good visibility
