Sergei takes the boat on an unauthorized fishing trip for a few days, and tells him not to mention this. When the radio operator urgently requests to speak with Sergei, Pasha dutifully makes up excuses why he cannot come on the radio. Eventually Pasha is told to take down a radiogram that Sergeis wife and young son have been gravely injured in an accident, although it is apparent theyve been killed. He is told that a ship is headed to get them and instructed to simply give Sergei the message and then leave him alone. The sad news keeps Pasha awake, but when he does sleep he oversleeps the data goes unrecorded. Seeing Sergeis boat, he hastily grabs the logbook to fill in fake numbers, and in doing so knocks his radiogram under the desk. When Sergei comes ashore with the trout, he is in a good mood. He tells Pasha a warm story about his wife craving salted trout during her pregnancy. Pasha starts to say something, but Sergei interrupts and teaches him how to properly fillet a fish.Once inside, Sergei quickly figures out that the Pasha made up the numbers in the log and explodes in anger, dragging Pasha inside and berating him. He tells him that the station has been continuously occupied since 1935, and that no matter how bad the conditions got, never had anyone just faked the numbers out of sheer laziness, and that now all their work is worthless. He accuses Pasha of being a tourist in the Arctic in order to write a pointless essay, How I Ended This Summer a play on the clichd How I Spent My Summer Vacation. Sergei tells him an intimidating story about the time one geophysicist apparently killed the other due to their strained relationship. ........
