Ada used a 'soft pointed bullet for seal, tho Knight
told her she must save the soft nosed bullets in
case she meets polar bear - 'nanook' Bennett
calls the bear.

- "Knight is very weak, she has to hold up his head
to give him a drink at the last" - He does not shoot as
well. She hears him say he misses so many times' - "
She thinks native hunters would be better. She says
very little about Noice now, I think she is doesnt
understand why he didnt answer her letter, she hasn't
told me anything about dictating her story and I
havent refered to it yet.

What I will do about that depends - certaintly
I must have her confidence before she will talk freely.
I don't believe her silences are all intentional - I
think she has an idea of what would interest people,
and cares less. She has no small talk - I think
we American women might learn something - for her
"Thinking Silences" - after she has been quiet for
some time she often breaks the silence by saying
"I have been thinking - - - I asked her if shh she
thought in English - but she said "no, in Eskimo"
