When he did come back to our camp, before the parting, he was perfectly satisfied, and with the same old confidence he swept his little party together and at three P. M., with a cheery "Good-by! Good Luck!" he was off. His Esquimo boys, attempting in English, too, gave us their "Good-bys."
She served it in cups of grass, and Ted thought he had never tasted anything nicer than the cup of afternoon tea served in an eglu. "Alalik, what were you singing as we came in?" asked Ted. "A song my mother always sang to us," she replied. "It is called 'Ahmi, and is an Esquimo slumber song." "Will you sing it now?" asked Mr.
Indeed the dogs made life a burden for the poor brutes from the very start. Mrs. Peary was again a member of the expedition, as well as another woman, Mrs. Cross, who acted as Mrs. Peary's maid and nurse. It was on this trip that I adopted the orphan Esquimo boy, Kudlooktoo, his mother having died just previous to our arrival at the Red Cliffs.
Cooking utensils are first formed in the desired shape, then heat is applied, as a result of which the stone quickly hardens. The koodlah is the only means by which light can be secured in an Esquimo igloo. As fuel, the blubber of the narwhal is used.
Is not each separate leg swathed in complete divorcement from its fellow? Or, womanish, do they rest in the common dormitory of a shirt de nuit? The Englishman does wear pajamas, but the word with him takes on an Icelandic meaning. They are built to the prescription of an Esquimo. They are woolly, fuzzy and the width of a finger thick.
I have never heard the story of the return of Captain Bartlett in detail; his Esquimo boys were incapable of telling it, and Captain Bartlett is altogether too modest. Captain Bartlett and his two boys had commenced their return journey, and the main column, depleted to its final strength, started northward.
He might lose his temper and run away and leave us after we were deep in the interior of the country." "Do you know, I don't believe he is an Indian at all," asserted Ned Rector. "Neither an Indian nor a white man," suggested Stacy wisely. "I think he is an Esquimo," spoke up Walter. "What's the odds? We don't care what his race is so long as he answers our purpose," declared Butler.
Eivind Astrüp, of Christiania, Norway, who had the honor of being the companion of Commander Peary in the first crossing of North Greenland and of having an Esquimo at Cape York become so fond of him that he named his son for him! It was on this voyage north that Peary's leg was broken. Mr. John M. Verhoeff, a stalwart young Kentuckian, was also an enthusiastic member of the party.
I have been busy making sledges, sledges of a different pattern from those used heretofore, and it is expected that they will answer better than the Esquimo type of open-work sledge, of the earlier expeditions. These sledges have been designed by Commander Peary and I have done the work.
His outfit and equipment were sufficient for him and complete, but he had shared it with the natives until it was exhausted, and after that he had reverted to the life of the aborigines. When the Roosevelt reached Etah, Mr. Whitney was an Esquimo; but within one hour, he had a bath, a shave, and a hair-cut, and was the same mild-mannered gentleman that we had left there in the fall.
