many other things but these |
value the most. The elder duck
later on I shall devote good many
pages to-as 1 am sure most of you
will bepleased to know Of the many
uses this duck is put TO. Most OF
the native squaws are very clever
in making up such toys. They
have a very funny way of taking
ones measure for pair of muck
lucks. If you want a pair OF boots
made you go over to any of the
huts and make a noise like this;
wang goo. pee chucks-loo COM eks.
That means you want the squaw
to make you pair OF boots. She
looks at your feet, places her hand
alongside of them-and the next
night your boots are ready-and
guaranteed to ct. I never saw or
heard of a squaw make mistake
in that lile. These boots are all
shaped by the squaw who uses her
teeth to bring them to the right
shape. And let me remark that all
the native women I ever saw who
had passed girlhood days, if they
ever have any-for they get mar
ried anywhere from the tenth year
up until they become pee-nas-kie.
which means that they are very
old-that ever had good set of
teeth. They are all worn down
fat and barely show above the
gums. At times when | get started
on a subject of this kind / feel as
if I could write for a whole year
and still not tell you all about these
people. Anyway, before | leave |
trust that each one of the readers
of this paper will know as much
about the Arctic regions and it's
people as I do.
During the many years | have
travelled over land and sea and the
strange parts l have visited and
the strange people | have seen,
Alaska, it's ways and people have
interested me most. tits a country
not yet fully known, its resources
have not been fully developed and
the real value of all it contains is
not known. I will get back on
the trail now and take up the seal
question.
In the part Of the North where /
was, only the hair seal is found.
Yet this seal is of greater value to
the natives than the fur seals would
be. This seal can be hunted tall
times and almost every Part is used
for some purpose. The seal lives
on fish of which there are great
plenty and are always fat. He is
protected from the cold waters by
having under the skin about four
or five inches Of solid fat or blub-
ber-as also has the walrus and
whale. The seal forms a very
pretty picture as it swims, only the
top of it's head showing above
water, although the rest of the
hody can be plainly seen as the
Arctic waters, as a rule, are always
clear, deep and blue. The seal in
the winter time has very funny
way of reaching the air and this
often leads to his being killed. He
places his nose against the ice, and
by it's heat and air forces hole
large enough for its body to pass
througll until it comes out on top
of the ice. The polar bear looks
for these air holes as does also the
native. The native remains above
the hole for hours at time with a
small barbed spear and as soon as
the seal pokes his head above
water he is speared. The bear
likewise watches for hours and
is rewarded in the end
by fat, JUICY lunch of seal Many
tires the seal comes up through
