boats do not run until the middle of May down the rivers. The most in- teresting part of the trip was on the Kushkokwim river, most of the na- tives had a hard time understanding the English. I would speak and deal with the Buck and as soon as I would converse about a sentence or two with him, he would translate it to the Squaw. and they in turn would dig. cuss the bargain. Their house: were of legs, with space within about ten by twelve meet, no table, chairs, nor beds, sleeping, eating and resting was dune on the fiouv, covered with Spruce buwers and caribou, mouse or rein- deer skins. Thursday, May 15, 1930 "Farthcr down the river, towards the coast where it was bare tundra, no trees for miles the Eskimos live in iglous, which are generally built by excavating a hole about four feet deep and circle about; 10 feet in diam- e'ser. The rout is made of driftwood or small trees hauled a great dis. tance, and this frame is ftlled in with mass and soil, the whole house rep- resenting u dome. Entrance is gained through at small opening by crawling on all fours. It is by no means made for people with excessive weight. The atmosphere is such upon entering that you would rather sleep outside. The house is heated by u seal oil stove, which is made of clay in most cases, u ring around a bowl is sunk about an inch deep and about the saline width, with a diameter aver- aging eight inches. This groove is packed with dry moss which is lubri- cated with seal oil contained in the middle of bowl. When the light burns low the bowl is tipped enough to feed the moss a little more mois- ture. ' or a piece of Reindeer meet or Tk dipped into the hut seal oil. The howl of seal oil is placed in the middle) of the floor, and everybody dips into the same pot. They make a form of biscuit, called bread, made from fiout. and water, each native takes a little in their hands,' makes a pattie out of it and throws it into the hot oil, thereby frying like a doughnut. They eat the seal oil plain also, by running the two first fingers along the edge of the bowl where the oil is cooler and licking " the oil from the. fingers. l was told about this be- fore entering this area and swore up and down that I will starve before I would lower myself to that extent. When I was hungry, without food and tired it certainly tasted good, in fact. anything tastes good at the moment. The seal oil tastes thick like cutor oil, with a flavur between Cod Liver oil and -very old raw fish.' "The seal oil is Led for fuel, food and water pruufing, The Eskimo'u meal consists of , piece of raw fish, "The igloos are very warm, in fact the small children often run naked inside, The other folks remove al- most everything they have on, a per- son is almost driven to remove more than in ordinary houses on account of the accumulated heat. The Eski- mos are far from being sanitary and in one case I preferred to sleep on my sled with all clothes on, snugly inclosed in my windproof sleeping bag. This was dune as 1 would call u necessity to prevent little crawling colonies from chewing me up. I never before imagined that they would fipd their way into the Arctic wastes. "Oh, yes, the Natives make their own- ice cream as well u we do in the states. The diaerence lien only In the ditferent way of pr-tion'. Boned seal oil, mixed with Blue Ber- nes or Salmon berries, or both, tget out side igloo to harden. Tutu like mallow. "Returning, I visited the new (old strike at Poor Man, near Ruby. To my deepest regrets I did not have at movie camera when the Caterpillar come in from Ruby, loaded with boil- ers, tents, prospector'e supplies and food. They were all waiting for it and as won ad the motor had stop- ped there was a seut'titt end hustling for the men to unload. It took but a short while to do it as everybody dug in to tind their consignment, and as soon as each man had all of hi» shipment he loaded it on his lied and hurried " to the claim. The country was all staked as far as you would see, in fact, l wanted to stake a few claims myself, but the nearest I could get to the Discovery was it whole day's walk away. Wherever you looked there was unowahoe tracks, it looked us though some huge rub- bits had been jumping all around the country-side, A new trail wan cut through for dog'teums and it took me right past the discovery. It wan really interesting to see them thaw out the ground with steam and scoop out the hole, which would be about 30 inches in diameter and aver-wine 50 feet deep to reach the bed-rock. This being a new camp, ubout seven miles away from Poor Man there are nu cabins and the men sleep in tente, lee is quite a scarcity of accommo- dation. I met u men who came trom Nome in an Airplane to look over the prospects of opening a place to ‘sleep and out. It took him three ilzours to fiy from Nome to Ruby by air, while it takes 16 days of hurd- ship with dog-team, with quite u few nights to sleep in the open. In a few days I shall leave for Ne- nanu to drive 36 miles tu see a pro!- pective buyer of my dogs. New Assistant Genl. Manager for N.
