TUN ORA TIMES

as he Steered the umiak. He looked as if he was contented. He was a rather handsome man and he looked good, his black mustache brushing against his pipe, his hood turned down off his head.
 The current in the inlet was swift and it made irregular waves. Nayukuk got off and got behind the team and helped pull while Mumangeena steered. When we reached calm water in a small bay, We beached the boat. Nayukuk loaded the dogs in the umiak and we padded across the small bay close to the mouth of the river and landed on the north bank. Nayukuk unloaded the dogs and arranged them.
 There was smooth ground for a lengthy distance up the river but Mumangeena said, You better stay with the team from here on.' 'Tll do that when we get to the high banks replied Nayulkuk.
 Aunt Mumangeena didn't say 6 word but she gripped the gunwale of the umiak hard.
 After going about a mile, we reached deep, narrow channel with rocky beaches on each side oi it. The current was swift and the dogs ashore were pulling hard Nayukuk and Mumangeena helped the team by padding.

had good leader and the team responded and moved forward and the umiak with it. Mumangeena put her hands to her face. She looked as if she was about to break down and cry.
 Trying Her Patience
 Thus We travelled for about twelve miles until We reached the inlet leading to the mouth of the kukput River. Once along the way, the dogs spotted squirrel on bank nearby and made a mad rush for it. The sudden pull of the line beached the umiak abruptly. Nay. ukuk jumped off quickly and strengthened the team out. He came back to the umiak and got into his position to steer. was surprised when Aunt Mumangeena didn't say a word. Her expression told me that she was trying powerfully to keep from making an outburst.
 The usually garrulous Muman- geena was very quiet. It was plain that she was keeping her pent-up emotions in check. Nayukuk was in his usual element silent and re- ticent. l didn't make any noise either. l felt that if shattered the silence, it would be too much. From time to time, I glanced back at Nayukuk. He sat in his steering position, seemingly calm and relaxed. He smoked his pipe

Kayayeaktowlook was about six or seven years old and his sister was two years younger than he. Both their parents had died at Kivalina SO they were taken to Point Hope by their uncle and they were both raised there. While growing up. kayayeaktowlook used to play with the Point Hope boys.
 One time they were playing tag. The boys used to have belt made out of some kind of wolverine hide or with wolf tail on it. They wore the belt over their parkas and around their waists One o fthe boys had belt made out of white fox tail.
 Broken Belt
 Kayayeaktowlook went after the boy with the white fox tail and ran after him and tried to tag him. He

Ideal Weather


 It was still early in the morning and the people in the village were just beginning to stir. There was a light breeze from the southeast and the water on the north beach was calm with only gentle swells roll Ing. It was ideal for travelling.
 A long line was tied about seven rect back of the bow on the right side to a plank seat and a brace of the umiak. The other end was tied 10 the team. When evervthino was in readiness, Mumangeena said 10 her husband, You better stay With the team on the beach and I'll steer the umiak. The dogs might get tangled up"
 Let your mother do 1t for q "hlle, Nayukuk said quietly. I was so taken aback that I almost shouted, Don't call me mother, Uncle Nayukuk"
 Mumangeena sputtered She Aooheo as 1T she was about to ex. plode or tear her hair out.
 l found myself tending to the team on the beach. The start was rather fast and had to run holdinp on to the line just behind the team ] kept going like that on the soft gravel for about a mile and then became exhausted. My endur- ence had not yet developed.
 Easy Way Out
 At my aunt's bidding, Nayukuk beached the umiak and got on Aunt Mumangeena made little sym- pathetic noises and said, "Mother, you are getting to be such a big help. That's more than I can say for that one back there"
 Before we knew it, Uncle Nav nkuk padded the umiak backwards snd turned it parallel with the beach and shouted, "Mush!" We

1 tagged him on the white fox tail and broke it. The Point Hope boy got mad at Kayayeaktowlook and got him scared. Kayayeaktowlook never forgot how he was threatened by the boy.
 When they were grown, Kayay- eaktowlook and his sister went back to kiValina. The man married wife and the woman married a husband from Noatak.
 One spring Kayayeaktowlook went over a portage to Cape Lis burne above Point Tope. He left his brother-in-laW and his sister at 4<ivalina River. He took his wife along and they spent the spring at Cape Lisburne and waited until the ice went out After the breakup. skin boats began to come from Point Hope to hunt caribou along the coast.
 Close Watch
 kayayeaktoWlook watched them closely thinking he might see the man who got angry with him when they were boys. Later, Kayayeak- toWlook saw another boat coming up the beach. He sat while the boat came closer.
 A man was steering the boat and a woman was on the beach towing the boat with long line of rawhide thong. Finally, Kayayeaktowlook recognized the man in the boat as the same man who had gotten mad | at him when they were boys.
 kayayeaktoWlook stood up and walked down to grab the towline and started to pull the boat in. The man in the boat noticed who he was.
 Quiet Revenge
 The Point Hope man called his wife to come to the boat and she came to her husband. He said to his wife, Give some muktuk and meek eegak to Kayayeaktowlook."
 kayayeaktowlook called his wife to bring her wooden tub for the meat. Point Hope woman took the wooden tub into the boat and op- ened poke of meat and muktuk and she began to put some of it into the tub. She asked her husband how much more she should give Kayayeaktowlook. Her husband looked in the tub and said to his wife, Give him little more"
 The woman held the poke on one end and poured everything into the tub. She gave the tub to Kayayeaa-

 Battle Stopped
 Aunt Mumangeena began to scream, Get the umiak on the beach, Get the umiak on the Beach! 'Nayukuk worked frantically but With little success. Mumangeena kept shouting. It seemed an in. credibly long time when Nayukuk finally nosed the umiak toward the beach. When we got to the shallow water, he jumped and ran splash ing to the battling dogs. He took his paddle with him and started using it at once. In minute or so. he splintered the paddle to bits but the dogs kept fighting. The water around them became red with blood. The belly of one of the dogs had been ripped open.
 When the splintered paddle was no longer effective, Nayukuk grabbed rocks and started to throw them at the maddened dogs. He knocked one of them unconscious and soon afterward had the dogs under control.
 Aftermath
 The fight had taken it's terrible toll The dog that had disorganized the team did not get up but he was still alive. He laid in shallow water which was red now with his blood. The vicious fangs of his team mem. bers had literally torn him to a terrible mass of slashes and cuts.
 Nayukuk cut the trace and pulled the mortally wounded dog out of the water He went back to the umiak and said quietly. "He will never heal from his wounds" He got his rifle and went back to the dog and shot it.
 Mumangeena got off the umiak and sat down on the beach. "We needn't have lost that dog and he was one of our best" she said. Her voice broke and she wept. My eyes blurred with tears, I also liked the dog. He was friendly and playful and he had been something of a pet to Mumangeena and me. He was also a hard worker.
 Horse Stolen
 The team had gotten into hope less tangle during the fight and it took Nayukuk long while to un- tangle them. Soon we were ready to get underway once again. There was no need to prod Nayukuk to attend to the team on the banks. He took to the job without com- ment and did it diligently. He had locked the door after the horse was stolen" to be sure, but he did his work well and for several hours.
 It was about 8 o'clock in the eve- ming when Mumangeena shouted, Lets camp on that beach ahead of us for the night"
 Back to NormaIcy
 Nayukuk plodded ahead without seeming to hear but when we reached the beach, he stopped the team and pulled in the umiak. The dogs were tired and we had been for more than twelve hours. We set up small tent and Mumangeena fixed our evening meal. When it was ready, she said, Mother, go tell your uncle to come and eat"
 When the meal was over she said to Nayukuk, You better take off your mukluks so can dry them for tomorrow"
 She had begun to talk after day of oppressive silence and the became easy. She was on the way to becoming herself again after the days ordeal and it was good.

Uncle Nayukuk was Tn our sod igloo looking for things he could not find. He had also taken an unusually long time to dress. Aunt Mumangeena was ef- flciently and quickly gathering the things We would need at the Kuk- puk River grayling fishing grounds.
 Journey Begins
 My aunt and I started to hitch the seven dogs for short trip to the north beach where my fathers nmlak was. Mumangeena had per- suaded my parents into letting us use 1t, but had made promise that we would take good care of it. Well take good care of it and we'll bring back plenty of fish for all of us," she had promised They mad made arrangements for some young men who had gone up the rlVer helping their families to take the uniak back to Point Hope.

Admiral George w. Anderson,

last night was named recipient
of the University of Notre

The award generally is consid-
cred the most significant honor
conferred on Catholic laymen
in the United States.
Admiral Anderson was an
nounced as winner of the medal
by the Rev. Theodore M. Hes
burgh, president Of Notre Dame.
Earlier recipients include Pres
ident Kennedy, who received ID
in 1861. An earlier Chief of Ma
val Operations, Admiral Will
liam S. Benson, was similarly
honored in 1917.
Father Hesburgh cited Adj
miral Anderson "for his more
than 35 years Of courageous
and brilliant service to the
Nation"
Throughout his notable ca
reer, in war and in peace.

in the far Pacific or forging the
blockade of nearby Cuba, Ad-
miral Anderson has exempli-
fled the highest ideals of the
naval service and his Christian
faith" Father Hesburgh said.
The medal is named for Lac
tare Sunday, the fourth Sun
day Of Lent, and an occasion Of
Joy in the liturgy Of the Cath
Ollie Church. The medal will be
presented to Admiral Anderson
at a later date.

A. While the destyoyers filled

A. Yes. And If we wanted tc
