flew off with a low cry. Checked traps this
morning 1915-2115.
24 June Wainwright, Alaska
Sea fog in today, also cold and intermittent
winds. Dew Line Station on Sunday
schedule - breakfast 8-9 AM, dinner at
3:30 pm. Checked traps 0900-1115. Went
with "Clarence," the outside mechanic, to the
river where there is an ARL boat. Clarence
said he would paint it if we send over
2 quarts of gray and 1 of white, also
could use some varnish for the
inside. Clarence is the individual who
trapped the 2 wolverines (at Barrow
now). At the time of capture (1957), he
was stationed at Pitt Point (Row 1). The
animals were raiding some meat cache.
Clarence rigged up a couple of drum traps
and caught them. He had to weld them
into the drums before a pilot would
fly them to Barrow.
Checked traps this evening - weather
still bad - overcast and a light rain
is falling. Comparatively poor catch
this evening.
