May 20th Sunday Good going all day. A fine run to the camp at Cairn Point. Sammie slid a big seal just before we got here. Came by Anacitah as we thought there was no one there but it is clear on our arrival that Pauls and family have a picnic just around corner. There is here now with Mr. Vro-can, Mrs. Vro and Oll-dee so their tent is very comfortable. Have had very good weather to not many seals yet. Hal and Els just about children are back with 5 years and 10 months open. A big crowd of Eskimos are held up at Redwood by open water, cannot get by to come north. It is rumored they have gone over the ice cap.
