E. M. Brock 1957 Journal Wainwright, Northern Alaska Aug 7 I do not remember looking at my watch when we arrived at Wainwright but it was somewhere around 11:30. We landed on the beach and I left the plane to look for the schoolhouse. I found Mr. Crawford at the schoolhouse who showed me my room. He remarked that the 200 lemmings were waiting for shipment back to Barow. Although I did not have my transect location map with one I remembered approximately where they were supposed to be located in relation to the cemetery. The cemetery is visible from my room. I took a walk over to the area and found transect I which is very messed up with a confusion of stakes. After figuring out approximately which was the end of the line I walked to the beach. I looked around them for about fifteen minutes and walked back to transect I and later found transect II and followed it the length of the trapline. After finding the first two transects I walked in the direction of T III + IV and found them. I also walked the length of both of these transects.
