Mable 1959 Journal early afternoon. Light rain fell in early afternoon & evening. I remained about tent all day. Bartlett set out traps for Dr. Frazer, along ridge line. Set out my own 6 along bottom of slope near tent. Fixed a wire basket for hanging my pellet bags over the snow to dry them. Then worked on my camera records - made a new triad using a micro switch which came in on one of the traps sent in on the last plane. It seems to work much better. Found that the synchronization didn't work. Took the camera completely apart. Nothing wrong with the circuit, & it finally began working. The contacts may have been wet or something. Hope this doesn't happen when I get set up. Checked traps at 6 + again at 10/19. None on ridge. One behind tent. The clipped him & released him. July 18 Batmegua River, Alaska. I was awakened at 4:00 AM by gusts of wind striking the back of the tent. After a bit they became so strong that I got up & loosened the fly so that thing in front. This was to keep it from.
