 foot wide, and about 5 pounds in weight; the end of a sword 4 inches in 



length; a snow-shovel 3 

 feet long, made of pine or 

 spruce, evidently painted 

 at first lead color, and 

 over this a coat of white 

 except that the lower face 

 was of fresh wood color,

 sidewas light green This 

 last article the Innuits said 

 they got out of a ship's 

 beam or plank at Ki- 

 ki-tuk — King William's 

 Land. On asking Tung- 

 nuk about this snow- 

 shovel, he said it came 

 from a large ou-mi-en (ship). Was it there now? No; it had sunk.

 snow-shovel was made of material very much thicker than it is now. 

 Tmig-nuk had never been to Ki-ki-tuk (King William's Island), but

 ances who had been all over the island. The sword-point mentioned 

 above was immediately bartered for.
