448 Joe^s Love for Hannah. 



kneel at Hannah's grave and carefully weed out the long* grass. Then 

 turning to his visitors, he said, ''Hannah gone! Punna gone! Me go 

 now again to King William's Land ; if have to fight, me no care." 



Over the grave of the faithful Hannah, the interpreter of each 

 expedition, and the friend who wept at Hall's burial, has recently been 

 placed an elegant granite headstone, with the monogram J. & H. and 

 an Inscription, designed for her by Mr. J. J. Copp and other true 

 friends. 



Note. — The usual tippellatiou, Eskimo, has been retained for Joe and Hannah throughout 

 this Narrative because they were found to bo so named in Hall's journals and by those who knew 

 them while they were in the United States. It has been learned only while printing this last 

 page that Cai^tain Hall said these two and their people so disliked the name Eskimo as to be 

 oft'ended when they heard themselves so called, instead of Innuits. It is perhaps an interesting 

 question whether this preference for the name Inniiit is to be attributed to any tribal antipathy 

 to the natives residing further east iu Greenland. It would seem to confirm the judgment of 

 Mr. Dall, quoted on page 62 of the Narrative.

 Continent see "Tales and Traditions of the Eskimos," by Dr. Henry Eink. Director for the Danish 

 Government in Greenland. London, 1875.
