Augiiiit, 1865.] Encampment on IlavUand Bay. 187 



the skin and feathers of a iKe-tu-Jarli's liead were fastened, and a feather 

 of the same water-fowl to each arm, just above the elbow. Oii-e-Ia 

 and eacli of the male relatives of Shoo-slie-ark-nook have a belt 

 around the waist. Then, besides, they constantly wear mittens. On 

 offering Ou-e-la some coffee, bread, and venison, he declined taking 

 any, because he must have food cooked for himself separate from 

 others during the term of mourning." 



On the 7th, Hall with his party removed to the west side of Havi- 

 land Bay, making the passage in a rain-storm in just five hours — 2 J to 

 8 knots per hour — on a northwest course across the mouth of the bay. 

 The storm had begun from the southeast on the night previous to their 

 setting out from the twenty-second encampment; but the weather clear- 

 ing during the day, the party had embarked on four boats; the Sylvia 

 and the Lady Franklin, with the boats of Ou-e-la and Nu-ker-^Jioo. All 

 were well laden with drugs of seal-blubber, sledges, dogs, men, women, 

 and children, and the usual Tnnuit chattels. A breeze from the north- 

 east favored them on a part of the voyage, but torrents of rain fell, 

 and the greatest care was taken by all the party of Too-koo- 

 li-too, who had been so long an invalid. The landing was made with 

 ease at low tide, but to find a suitable place for the tiqnks was diffi- 

 cult, as the rocks were everywhere dished, had pools in every excava- 

 tion, and were sending down streams of water in every direction. The 

 Innuits who had preceded Hall in removing from Oo-glari-your Island 

 occupying the only available dry spot, he was obliged to take the most 

 convenient one above high-water mark. At midnight the tujnics were 

 completed, and the party comfortably housed at this new encampment, 

 lat. GQ° 31' N., long. 85° 50' W.
