T. Cade 1957 General Account 11 June, Wainwright, Alaska Beeny and I spent the morning 0800 to 1130 setting out the traps on the four transects. Jaegers were all about us, T1 is in rod slope. Apparently Takers set up a new series of stakes last year. Now there are two sets which do not match up, and it is hard to know which intervals to follow in setting out traps. The other lines seem to be OK. Coming into the Village we were met by two kids who had shot 4 jaegers. There we bought for a $1.00. We saw the transects after dinner and retired around 2330. Spent the afternoon writing up field notes. 12 June, Wainwright, Alaska Hank and I ran the transects in the morning, then came back to the village to pack Hank's stuff up for his return to Barrow. The Wien plane came back in from Point Loy at 1300. I sent 22 line lemmings and the 4 jaegers back to Barrow with Hank. I spent the afternoon around the village, ran the lines again in the evening and retired at 0130. Caught 2 more lemmings by hand. 13 June, Wainwright, Alaska Up at 0900 and ran the trap lines.
