The men Innuits, save one, went out Deer hunting this Morning. They took the Boat of "Mr. Miner" ([[space]]) & proceeded toward the other side of the Bay. Probably will not return for 2 or 3 days. Another trembling of the Mountains to-day! I simply mean that a terible noise was made by women & children in chasing & killing another little mouse. This P.M. the wife of Jack has been AnKooting sick Twer-oong - "Susy". The Sun-set to-night fine. I never saw more beautiful days & nights than here. The sky with all the mellow tints that a poet could conceive. The moon & Aurora now make the Nights glorious. The preparations made by the Innuits for catching salmon by our Enc. secured none.
