38 Journal Sullivan, J. 1962 Barrow, Alaska 16 July (cont) After sapper Stevens and I pulled in lines I, II, IX and X. Captured 1 Lemmum - line IX. We rushed back in time (2030) to hear Hal Peyton's seminars on Ice - 2ti Use + Declarers. Peyton (in the last 4 years) has tested the mechanical properties of ice - primarily Sea Ice. Properties such as tensile strength, malleability + others. The talk was well presented and indicated that Peyton + co. spent in some long hours. A controversial point: Peyton forced the crystals of ice to be oriented in a particular azimuth (on the horizontal plane - then oriented in one direction) - this phenomenon occurred in bottom ice (I think). Other investigators (ice-men) question this. So Peyton will spend next winter checking this phenomenon in "bottom" ice off the northern Alaska coast. Heinrich's imported brew was served at this function. All project (Lemmum) members attended (sans mullen + Nixier - who are greyling fishing + lemming trapping at the Inaru River camp). 17 July Barrow, Alaska Clear sunny sky - a very few scattered clouds. Not. Mosquitoes will be bad today. To Point Sampling Area by Lines 11+12 this
