Make, 1959 Journal They were 1/4 to 1 mile offshore. Several common calves in the group. Hard telling how many they were, since I estimated about a dozen, the more may have been involved. Returned to tent at 11:30 PM. Wind changed to E.S. at midnight. Aug 6 Patneger River, Alaska. Warm relatively still in the morning, partly cloudy. It rained some last night but quite before morning. Helped Henry pull in his trap lines. Mosquitoes were fierce, the darn things actually seem inhibited by sunlight so that yesterday which was as warm & still as today, & sunny, they were not many out. Today however they swarmed! They were the worst I've seen here - though at the Castle King they are that thick routinely. Made final next round in afternoon. Lt #11 was gone. The pomarine chick was present but well advanced. He should be gone in 2-3 days. Aug. 7 Patneger River, Alaska. Spent morning packing, burning our trash etc. in preparation for the plane. It didn't come. Nice warm
