Journal 19 Childs 1957 12 July Pitmegea River, Cape Solvine, Alaska During the night a grizzly got as far as our water hole and why he didn't go for the Caribou Island honor. I heard a weasel over the hill & the East early this morning—perhaps it was investigating the fire to the SE. Smoke still present but we cannot see flame. Pressure of other work and muscles prevent us from investigating over there. A single farm caribou came to the ridge top yesterday—perhaps driven by smoke. 1205 today is our day for big predators. A big Wolverine was across the river but although Merle took 2 shots at it, it got away. There was another, smaller one up at the large bluff. Merle and I set out T7 + T8 to the NW of T5 + T6. Flushed a Ptarmigan and shot it. Caribou were seen to the West and they circled me while working. One of our Trap bags was torn and traps scattered probably by bear. Worked on description of transects in the p.m. Set transects T7 + T8 at 2130. 13 July Ran transects in a.m. and continued descriptive work on transects 3+4. Caught one M. oecanum at T8-4.2. Westerly wind and windy, longspurs definitely on the move. 14 July Very windy but warm and clear. Continued as above. Both our watches stopped last night! Oh well, where going anyhod?
