Kataksinax, whose boy was born the evening of February 28 was up yesterday, she seemed to be worried by staying in bed so long, but was ordered to by Stein. She never seemed sick, but for the semifaint a half hour after the birth, from loss of blood and exertion in washing the child.

[The boy had an erection at birth. Stein says he has seen this occur in the camp of all (2) boys born here (half-white)]. [In Icelandic:] Dreinginum stóð við fæðinguna. Stein segist hafa sjéð þetta áður á öllum (2) dreng­börnum fæddum hér (þaug voru hálf-hvít).

Marriage relations. It seems to be customary that the man who marries the youngest or only daughter, must attach himself to the parent’s family. If he is later unwilling to go where they go, the girl nevertheless goes with her par­ents (cf. case of Titjak and Pannigok, she is to go with par­ents to Kittegaryuit and he does not want to go, so has already gone up river to Pokerk’s).
