SCENE AT CAPE YORK, A SUMMER HOME OF THE ESKIMO. 



The southern panel of the West Wall. 



In this bay, but some miles to the eastward, the three meteorites 

 now on exhibition in the foyer of this museiun remained for ages. 

 It was Peary who wrested them from their ancient abode and brought 

 them to New York in 1895. From these meteorites, in olden times, 

 the Innuit flaked oflf pieces for use in knives, harpoons and arrow 

 heads, to aid in the struggle for food and lire.
