a few miles and found a great quantity of wood.
I took a walk up the river for a couple of miles
and saw the first running water of the season, a
pool draining from the bank into the river bottom.
Saw a raven and shot a bird for speciman.
Had a little rain today and lots of clouds and wind
from the East.

Saw the same seals as at least seals at the same
hole as we saw yesterday. I went after them and most
all of them went down at a distance varying from
300 yds to 1/2 mile. I am sure I was as carfull as I
could be. Galle shot a male & female "King" (?) Eider"
Several more were seen. Foggy & occasional drizzels

Extremely foggy all day until about 6 P.M. so took
advantage of the fog to kill ducks which flew along
the bare sandspit to the W. flying. Most ducks flew
East. Altogether 15 ducks and two geese were killed.
I took a walk up the river for a couple of miles
and got one shot at some geese but misjudged
distance because of a dense fog, completely missing
now 9.30 P.M. misty. Light breeze from the East.
June 18 Sunday ---- Duck shoot all day, 10 ducks
