Friday May 1st-
52nd day
Pretty rough coming clown,
blowing and drifting. A big
white wolf came within 36
yards of our sledges about 8 miles
from here. My lying dog sniffed
this trace and took after him.
Over to the ruin looked him over
put his tail between his legs and
came slowly back wearing a
shame faced expression. The
wolf followed us into camp
but would not come within
rifle shot. I had a mug up
at 4:44 following which
E - went hunting killing
a caribou getting back at
12. We find everything all
right in deep out tent-damp
and cold. Had cramps last
night due to moisture in
sleeping bag.
Had a big feed of heart,
liver, kidneys, and tenderloin,
and turned in so full that-
we could hardly breathe.
Still blowing from the southard
and drifting.
