G.L. 1963 Journal 25 July Once again of the situation. One receptacle was found along with a couple of Snapper juveniles. During the night, light showers occurred. No catch, except for a few Snappers, was recorded all night & the next morning. 26 July Barrow, Alaska Steve Logston, Rex Pieper & Glenn Stanley arrived at Beach Ridge about 1030 to pick me up. I checked to see how Steve Holland was doing and found him doing fine. The plumbing is finished in the animal house. After lunch, we worked the metabolic cages over and devised a better feeding trough for the powder experiment. It has been raining intermittently and the wind is from the west. Hank & Dave left for Nome after lunch. After dinner, Logston, Stanley & I brought in 4 live traps & checked 2 more. 27 July Barrow, Alaska Light showers continued all morning with a west wind blowing all day. Rain stopped in the late afternoon and a fog came in after dinner (1800). Holland and I worked the routine data through for the colony until about 1100. Wrote notes until lunch. Won't be able to fly to Pitmegea today; No plane, no pilot. Dave returned today from Nome. Hank was left at Cape Thompson. Metabolic cages and the special powder diet animal were processed after lunch. Worked on data sheets and checked our camping equipment for the Pitmegea. After dinner, Logston & I pulled in lines XIII & XIV. Fertilizer plot very mushy. Solenmings caught.
