June 12 Wainwright, Alaska
Ran trap lines in a.m. Saw a Short-eared
Owl and golden Plover. Trap lines still
not yielding many mice: left for Barrow
at 1300.
June 13 Prepared for trip to Cape Sabine!
June 14 Ditto.
June 15 at 0915 Jack Baker came in to say we could set our
gear to Liz A today at 0900, not Monday as expected.
With some hustling and cooperation by Ed Clepoch,
Jim, Jack, Map, Tom, and John we got most of
it ready and off. We left Barrow by chartered
Wien at 1320 and arrived at Cape Sabine at 1615.
Between Dry Cape + Pt. Lay visibility was very
poor. South of Pt. Lay winds picked up and
have continued. Mr. Lockhard, the pilot, dropped
us and made Two trips to Liz A for our gear.
Koanda and I walked to the cabin which could be
used with some clearing but the problems of trans-
port were too great. We made camp on a good spot on
the bar. On the trip down the coast we saw
no among owls and about 5 jaegers. We
passed to the east of Liz B and there were no jaegers
anywhere we passed behind Wainwright. A pair
of Snow geese were seen near the Utukhak R. I
found a Mammoth Tooth about 50' from the
Camp site and sent it back to Barrow.
Birds seen this evening: Yellow-bill Loon; Red-throated
