childo 1958 27 30 July Batanayga River, Cape Sabine, Alaska The tent this job was done and the trip back to the tent completed. In the morning when we first got up we could still see the humps of the salmon but shortly the flood hit so that we hardly had time to move the boat before the bar was under water. Within an hour there was 2 feet of water where we could walk across without getting our feet wet earlier. 31 July Heavy rain again. Stayed in camp and caught up on records, bird singing, etc. 1 August Rain continued through the night but stopped by morning. Overcast continued through the day with some sign of clearing & the NW. Rate of 9 went over & marmot den. Pete after marmot and I hunted along the ridge. Not moving at all. River may now cover stake for boat. Finished abletting bear and packed stuff for next plan 2 August Weather cleared. Pete had no luck with marmot today. Got 3 squirrels and walked to far ridge to nest + back along beach. Saw a Wolverine across the river that passed near bear nest but didn't go in. Mapped bird plot vegetation. Collected plants, may longspurs, among them,
