A Tenting- Place of White Men. 



345 



Too-koo-li-too and Ebierbing, about the same time, found two 

 tenting-places which presented strong contrasts. Tlie first tent, the 

 traces of which Too-koo-li-too called to them to observe, had been ob- 

 long, as shown by four stones, weighing each from 25 to 35 pounds, 

 used to hold down its corners ; rows of smaller stones were in the po- 

 sitions where they had served to secure the sides. The dimensions of 



hall's sketch op the coast-line neak the monument. 

 the tent had been 9 feet by 6. Hall's Innuit companions assured him 

 that white men must have built it. An Innuit tenting-place close 

 by, showed the unquestionable marks of its builders by its stones 

 being found arranged in their invariabl}^ circular form.
