11 Aug. Gleen Stanley, Dil Chellet and a few other bondaglers.
Overcast day starting out cold (34°) and becoming
warmer (40+) in the later afternoon. All the colony work
was finished by 1530 which gave up part of a Sunday
afternoon free. Wrote notes after dinner.
12 Aug. Barrow, Alaska
We developed a good effective system for
handling the special diet and weighing the animals.
Most animals are holding their own weights while
an equal number have either increased or decreased.
Two have died from the same group. Overcast
weather but warm (40°) with practically no wind.
The metabolic animals are showing signs of physical
weakness, one to hemorrhaging from the anus. We finished
day 1430, in time for me to help Logston at lines I, II
and IX,X, a dense fog is settling in. By 2100 a
heavy fog had drifted in. Hank Childs was supposed
to return from Wainwright but couldn't be picked up.
Dr. P. Hurd arrived today.
13 Aug. Barrow, Alaska
Hollenbeck worked in the colony until 1600.
Three of the metabolic animals died and we needed
to transfer some of the animals from the large
special diet experiment to the metabolic cages. Since
these are already adapted to the powder, they may
be able to overcome the sudden change to their
metabolic cages. Max Buttner arrived today.
