250 ESQUIMAUX ENCAMPMENT. 



The more they have reason to respect visible powers, 

 the greater will be the mist of awe thrown around 

 iincomprehen ded properties . 



We passed a most refreshing night of repose after 

 the late harassing period of two days, and arose 

 reinvigorated for new toil. 



Going in search of water, and to examine a mark 

 on a hillock near, we discovered a spot where Esqui- 

 maux had lately encamped ; the remains of a fire and 

 debris of a feast on reindeer and wildfowl were 

 visible, and four or five very small three-legged 

 stools, to which we never again saw anything similar.
