23 May Wainwright, Alaska
a dead lemming on the surface. We
also found that the Eakins boys
have supplies of lemmings saved in
the ice cellars for the "Spring Sale." On
this basis I have recommended to
Crawford (Schoolteacher) and Bruce that
only live animals be purchased.
In the evening we saw 3 longspurs
in the Village.
There apparently is no lead within
striking distance of Wainwright,
although the hunters are getting
riders flying over the ice. There
was a large one 20-30 miles SW of
Barrow. With such a stretch of
unbroken ice it is a wonder how
the whales get to the Barrow
area leads from the south. The
lung of the White Whale that
Pavlova got was a very compact
structure with highly branched
bronchioles, not at all like
the flabby expandable tissue
of most mammalian lungs.
24 May Developed a heavy cold overmeat. Spent
the day at the school. Longspurs move
through in small flocks. East wind.
