6th Day  12 Enc.  20th Day

Ning-u-ar-ping & Jack have just (1 PM) brought me in present of two fine Salmon each measuring 20 inches each in length.  The Innuits call large Salmon Eh-er-loo, small Salmon Eh-er-loo-ung.  What a fine supper I shall have!  The most delicious fish in the world this "Salmo Rossii".
Salmon are caught by the Innuits with a hook affixed upon a stick wh. answers for a handle.  They are also caught by spearing them with a peculiar instrument the Innuits manufacture themselves.
Miner ([[space]]) Koo-per-neu-ung, Allokee & the rest of the party except Koo-jesse & Koodloo that started out last  + [[symbol: Cross]] returned at three O'Clk P.M.
Koo-per-neu-ung of my crew has shot 5 Took-too (& one Seal - 1 Duck
Minn ([[space]]) -  4 " " [[dittos for: Took-too]]
Allokee -  1 " " [[dittos for: Took-too]]
