"food on the back trail. Three men only say they will go on Archib" eddie-ling-walk and New-car-fring-walk. Mene has talked with them and finds out they all want to go back to Eldah, feed off the dogs or walrus meat and try it again. I have decided that among the number there are many quitters and much dead timber which I must get rid of so am going back to reorganize. Sifaro and Ab-felling walk are too rich to devote so will leave them with Hal and Green. They have killed 9 seals here so have plenty of meat" Ob-bloo-yath shot his best dog tonight. Claims it is too weak to go back, will leave our whole equipment here picking it up on the return.
