Tints in one way or ano'her every • mart, woman and most of the children of this tribe of 2.Vi people were kept busy til. the service of the erped'tlon. The work was well done and with much le-tter knowledge of the fitness of tlilnps than could he done h" am l.os!li|e "atherlnp of w.liite rnen. Hie o* thr Narwhal. The rntest of the walrus and the nar whal came in our own immediate plan of adventure. The unicorn, or nar whal, does not o'ten conic under t In eve of the white man. thourh cue <>r the first animals to leave our shores. It pave for s brief Spell good results In sport and useful material. The blabber is the pride of every house keeper. for ll gives n long, hot Haute to the In Min. with no smoke to spot the Igloo finerv. The skin Is regarded as quite a delicacy, flit in!" squares. If loots and tastes like scallops, with tmlv r slight ttroit'H of train oil. The meat dries easily and Is thus prized ns an appetizer or ns a lunch to be eaten ett route In steal or kayak In till* shape It was an extremely use fill thing for us. for It took the place of petnmlean for our less urgent jour neys. The narwhal, which, apart from Its usefulness. Is most Interesting to den i/.ens of 'be arctic deep, played I" schools far "ff shore, usually along lh<* edge of large be. Its long lory tusks rose under spouts of breath and spray. When this glad sight Mas noted every kavak about camp was maimed, and the Ksklnios' skin canoes went Ilk" birds over the water. Some of the Kskmios rose to tbe ice fields and tie llvered harpoons from a secure foot lug tubers bid behind floating frag ments of heavy b e and made a sudden rush as the animals tia-ssed. Still others came up It* the rear, for ! the narwhal cannot easily see tiaet: wflid and does not often turn to wateli Its enemies, its speed being SO fast that It curt easily keep ahead of other troublesome • realities. Hunting the Narwhal. The harpoon Is always delivered at 1 dose range. When the dragging float marked the end of the line in tow of the frightened creature the line of skin canoes .followed. The narwhal is timid by nature. Fearing to rise for breath, he plunged along until nearly strangulated. When II did come up there were several Ksklnios near vvllli drawn lames, which inflicted deep gashes Again the narwhal plunged deep down with hut one breath and hurried tilong as best It could. Hut its speed I slackened, ami a line of crimson marl; ed Its hidden path. Loss of blood and wind of air tlid not give it a chance l«> tight. Again it came up with a spout; again ltie lances were hurled The battle continued for several bout's, with ninny exciting adventures, but in the end the narwhal always suc cumbed. offering a prize of several thousand pounds of meat and blubber. Victory, ns a rule, was not gained until tlu* hunters were far from home, also far front the shore line. Hut the Ks . klino is a courageous hunter and an intelligent seaman. Towing the Carcass. To the huge carcass frail kayaks were Hitched in a long line.
