Janda, Lt Kelly, & Johansen, Woodruff, Mills, Smith Stenger, Myers, Jeffry, Runyan, Hess, Bevington. -21st- Left Eagle City early in a single horse sled - two seats. Hornby driver - Hess, Jeffry & I. Hess goes to Circle to go into Fairbanks with Comr. & Dep. Mar. & George & I for Coldfoot. I walked on ahead and they did not over =take me until I had passed the north end of Lords lake - 15 miles. Dinner at the Sheep Creek roadhouse - when we met Mrs. Dr. Fugard of Dawson on her way into Fairbanks - also Fred [previous word struck through] Ernest Fay and a shorthaired - sawed-off prostitute dressed in mens clothing - each tending [written over on diagonal:] Canary birds wild. Spring days.
