Captain Bartlett, skipper of the John
r. Bradley, said that he also would
like to stay; but, If compelled TO re-
turn, he required at least a cook and
an engineer to take the yacht back to
Newfoundland.
The situation was eased when the
captain was told that but one man was
wanted. No group of white men could
possibly match the Eskimo In his W
element. The willing hands of a tribe
of 250 people were at my disposal.

the risk of the vessel.
There was no special reason for us to
hazard life; therefore the yacht was
here prepared for the return voyage.
This was to consume several days, and
we sought to occupy the time in ex-
~ploration and sport.
Much Game at Etah.
The vicinity of Etah is notable as
the stamping ground of DR.. Kane and
DIR. Hayes in the middle of the last
century. There were no unexplored
spots in the neighborhood, but there
was a good deal of game near.
Far beyond, along the inland ice,
were caribou, but we preferred TO con-
fine our exploration to the seashore.
The bay waters were alive with
elder ducks and guillemots, while just
outside walrus dared us to venture ON
an open contest on the wind swept
seas.
After ambitions for the chase ana
local exploration were satisfied we
were told that the people of Annootok,

suddenly to an altitude OF
1000 feet and is crowned with an ice
cap. 1t is picturesque enough. Large
bays, blue glacial walls and prominent
headlands offer a pleasing variety, but
1t is much like the coast of all Green
land.
1t had, however, the tremendous adj
vantages of a southern exposure and
rocks, providing a resting place for the
little aux in millions. These little
birds darted from the cliff to- the sea.
Rather rich grassy verdure also offer
ed an oasis for the arctic hare, while
the blue fox found life easy here, for
he could fill his winter den with fat
~feathered creatures.
AS we approached the shore 10 men,
Q women, 81 children and 100 dogs
came out to meet us. | count the chill
dren and dogs, for they are equally
important in Eskimo economy. The
latter are by far the most important to
the average Caucasian In the arctic.
Only small game had fallen to the

At last Mr.. Bradley had found a suit
able retinue of native guides, and we
were not long in arranging a compact.
Free passage, the good graces of the
cook and a knife each were to be their
pay. A caribou hunt was not suffi-
GENTLY novel to merit a return to
Olrick's Bay, where intelligent effort
is always rewarded, but it was hoped
we might get a hunt at Kookaan, near
the head of Robertson Bay.
Setting Sail For Etah.
This venture, however, failed, though
1t gave us an interesting chase about
dangerous waters in a violent gale.
We returned to the igloo to do homing,
paid off our guides, made presents to
their women and children and set sail
for Etah.
Clearing weather after the storm af-
forded delightful yachting weather. A
fairly strong offshore wind filled the
big wings of canvas. The cool air was
bracing, while the bright sun threw
glittering smiles from slant to slant.
The seamen forward sang of the de-
lights of fisher folk.
A monograph sent music, classical
and otherwise, into the arctic air from
the cabins. At table there was a kind

During two days of stormy discom-

quickly as possible.
On the following morning we passed
Cape Alexander and entered Smith
sound. Half a gale came from the sea.
and we entered Foulke ford. The
town of Etah was composed of four
tents, which for this season had been
pitched beside a small stream just in
side of the first projecting point on the
north shores.
Inside this point there was sheltered
water to land the Eskimos' kayaks.
1t also made a good harbor for the
yacht. 1t is possible in favorable sea-
sons to push through Smith sound,
