child 1957 journal 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
