Mable,
1959
Jammed
in the evening.
Aug 21 Peter Lake Alaska.
On return yesterday I found my
artifact-scraper blade-missing. Returned
this morning to site where I had eaten
an orange on Coke can. I remembered
taking it from my pocket there. Could
not find it. So I searched the area
several times. Then discovered that my
right front pants pocket had a large
hole & decided that I might have lost
it that way. Too bad.
After lunch went up Carnivore Creek
at head of Peter with Dr. Chase. We
collected a couple of sacks of rock lichens
for Ed Mueller who wants them for [illegible].
Dr. Llano.
Aug 22 Peter Lake, Alaska
Do not remember this day in detail.
In morning wrapped the shrub pellets
in toilet paper, packed specimens etc.
In evening went to N. end of lake
+ checked small lake for birds - the
female & 6 chicks were still present, also
the male. Finally concluded that they are
white-winged Scoter.
Aug 23-25 Peter Lake, Alaska
Spent the last 3 days simply waiting
