Ethnographic Description of the Eskimo Settlements 



217 



The northern part of the Naze (34) was quite inapproachable 



owing to the snow. 



Particulars of the rests for the kayaks are given in the follow- 

 ing table. 



Some further details of these kayak-rests may be given: 



35; figs. 16, 17: these lay close to the shore, which so far 

 as I could see was steep and stony. The northern rest was in 

 part the fixed rock, 2 smallish 

 stones being laid on this and 

 above them a third, larger. The 

 middle rest was formed of a 

 heap of several large stones 

 and the southern rest was made 

 of many stones, both large and 

 small. 



36: these were far — over 

 200 meters — from the nearest 

 beach. The northern rest was 

 built of large and small stones. 

 Uppermost lay 2 larger stones 



in touch with one another, so that the ends where they met in 

 the middle lay lower than the outer ends. The middle rest was 

 formed of 5 — 6 large stones, 2 of which almost equal in size lay up- 

 permost. The fixed rock formed the southern rest, a stone being laid 

 on a small, rocky hummock. 



37 : these were found almost halfway between the set last men- 

 tioned and the shore. The western rest consisted only of two 

 stones, one large and the other somewhat smaller, which lay be- 

 side one another. The middle rest was formed of several stones.
