Saturday, May 12. Movie 10 o'clock twenty five hours without sleep. The boys started after the bear at 10 o'clock and were back with it in about three hours - a small female. We and the dogs had eaten her up. Am now waiting for a meridian altitude. Am bottling some liquor in alcohol in order to have it analyzed at home for poison. The boys tell me that the liver of the pup is also poisonous (earning the thing to feel from our hands). - 16 Midnight. Sunday, May 13 - (12 day) Another ten hours and a half through soft snow. Dogs are very tired. Beer tracks coming and recoming in a regular maze. Strange we have not seen any to-day. Was very much wet. Hope we can make C. Garland tomorrow two hours less last night.
