Kurill, Paspilkoff, Yagorsha & the boys go down to the point to commence setting the fishtrap. They get the ice all cut and the stakes down, a very good days work. Boil the kettle & make bread which turns out first rate. Feel better today, yesterday was miserable.

They go off to the fishtrap and finish everything except putting down the mordas. Kurill sits on the sled and coming back one of the ice chisels catches on a lump of ice, throws him off & gives him an ugly wound in the perineum. Dress it & put him to bed. It is unfortunate that we should both be laid up at the same time, as there are only the two boys to do all the work of the house bring wood etc. Get a poor bath, not hot & water [[mala?]]

Lay down all day, in considerable pain. Boil some rice for myself. Have a row with Yakutz who is an old fool. Russians don't go to the trap
