A fresh breeze from the S.S.E. The ice came in
and nearly closed the large open patch of water
outside of camp. I killed two female Eiders. Crawford
and Galle took a walk to the Harbor about 2 miles
West of here and brought back some fossil ivory,
and some large bones (possibly mamoth) which they
found near some mamoth tusks.

A heavy rain started yesterday at 5 P.M. and con -
tinued until 12 M. today. Had to put two tarpaulins over
the tents as the rain was beating them. After the rain stoped
a gale arose from the W. It seems that we are never
going to get calm weather and sunshine together for all

Crawford killed a goose near camp and I killed two
female Old Squaws.
