Start early + push on till noon when being very hungry stop + lunch off of dog ukali and water and then continue late in the evening arriving at Woolysatux barrabora. 
There dog feed is wanting and I am obliged to give the dogs only half a fish apiece. Buy two rabbits and dine off one of them + tea. Very tired having worked the heaviest sled in the lot all day through deep snow without help.
[line] Monday Nov. 25 [line]
Start early leaving old Woolysatux a [[lb?]] of powder, a box of caps and 15 balls as a present. Also some sukree + fat. Reach Nulato about noon. Carpoff, Tarentoff, Yakuts, + Yagor are only there. Have the goods put in the store as the house is not ready for occupancy having no windows, but has been well

Morning. Finish boiling the fat and get about 15 gallons of clear tallow which will be very acceptable in winter at Nulato, as I have no butter tallow, or bacon grease of any other kind, to cook with. Evening go to the egrushka again  Many Indians make presents of deerskin, sinew &c. I give Arknapyak a [[?lb]] of powder, a sunglass + the plane he asked for + his wife a pair of scissors. Popoff gives Alluianok, sugar, tea bread + a kettle + some caps, and Ikké gives one man a papoosh of tobacco + a bag + another a pipe + tobacco bag. Come back + have a talk with Ostraskoi, who is up to dirty tricks like all the Russians. Pay him in full what I owe him for making bread smoking tongues &c. He agrees to feed the boy till Pavloff comes here
