- Ice coming in east. Maurer & Knight went east, Crawford
up river. I went get traps, all in now. Found walrus tusks.
Brought back mastodon tusk. If you are out at a dinner - a
big one lets say, Find your place as soon as you're able.
If in the confusion you strike the wrong side, you shouldn't
step over the table.
- We had hardly been asleep more than two hours before the
dogs started barking. All rushed out. Nothing but 4 walrus
could we see swimming around. This morning (P.M.) weather
very thick. C. & I went west to dig out tusks and collect
mastodon teeth & bones. Found several bones and teeth.
The tusk I found yesterday was rotten & could not be trans-
ported. On way back from Doubtful Harbor we found another
M. tusk which was in same condition as previous one. Shot
at some geese in water, they were unable to fly.
