July22 St. Barrow, alaska;
Very pleasant morning, cooling off toward noon.
Checked traps with Sullivan and then started on
colony. Worked on it until dinnertime. After dinner,
checked traps again. Rained hard for awhile tonight,
July23. St. Barrow, Alaska;
Mike is back and I suppose a flight will be
going to pick up Mullen. Him arm. Checked traps this
morning with Sullivan. Very windy but not too cool.
Started working on colony but stopped before lunch to
see Hines who had returned with Mullen- John told us
stories, will be interesting to hear Mullen's version. They
took 30 lemmings at the Drare along with birds.
Also caught one shrew. John reported very little
massing of gulls, but did see distraction displays
Bottorola & Black-bellied Bows. Finished colony
after lunch and in evening. Sullivan & Hines checked
traps. Wind still blowing strong, becoming cloudy
July24. St. Barrow, Alaska.
Checked colony and talked to Mullen, briefing him
on progress. Schultz received a shock, Mike Adams
wants to go in a week to start on another job. This is a
critical time. Perhaps Mullen can work out something
whereby we can help. Sullivan and Hines processed the
damples from the Drare. Tonight, line V, Y1, V14 VM3
