horizon a long distance to the South. For the last week

large number of bears, but altho we keep a good look
out for them now "there hain't none". At present we have
about 2 months dog food and as soon as we are
moved and settled Crawford and I will probably take
the dogs and go off shore to a lead and camp there.

sled on a sand spit and will get it later. We
