20 June Patrezea River, Cape Sablin, Alaska
on the bar. They shot a Crane! and we got it in
trade. They found 2 pieces of mastodon tusk. Three,
one 4"x 12"x 3" and only part of the encompass.
21 June With the first day of summer John Tedrow
and John Caatlar arrived to be followed
by 3 others Tomorrow. Harry Brown left as
these fellows will be here a week. Shunid
binds all day. Yesterday Harry saw a Wolverine
across the river while I was in the tent skinning!
22 June Tedrow + I set out transects 3 & 4 in Loon
Marsh in a.m. I closed & moved traps
to the new sites in preparation for starting
the lines that night. Started to rain at 21:00
so put it off. Jim Drew, Dr. Alderfer, and
Bill Gillis came in at 16:30.
23 June Another wind storm today but clear
no rain. The soils party took off across the
river for the day leaving their tent
flapping in the breeze. I did what I could
that when I returned from setting
the traps their fly had ripped so I
cut it loose and re-stoked the thing.
When I returned there was a mechanical
measel driving across the snow across
the river, probably from Liza. Two small
Canada geese landed on bar. I shot and located them,
but not badly!
