Childs 1957 Journal 9. 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!
