Childs 1958 Journal 17 May Barrow, Alaska Arrived at Barrow at 1500. Visibility during flight was intermittent. The Colville was open around Unist. No bare areas seen from there to Barrow. No animals seen. 18 May Spent the morning getting organized and planning with Brewer and Rausch for the week. In the p.m., walked out of the Thompson delta bares and bark. No exposed areas yet or any significant melting. There is about 8" of light powder snow over a very hard ice layer on the surface. This should not be conducive to happy home life for Lemmus. Saw a Sparrow Hawk. Collected a tree sparrow. 19 May accomplished little. 20 May gathered gear for the Biltmore and Whinwright. Drove around Central Marsh. No exposures yet and no birds or mammals seen. 21 May Went south of the Village & the Monument & the Whaley Cap. The lead had closed so there was nothing there. Rausch found the gut of a recently killed Polar Bear.
