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.
