MARIA 



One of the best known of the Okak Eskimos, and quite 

 a character in her way. She is a typical Eskimo, with 

 her square face and his;h cheeks, small eyes and black 

 hair; typical, too, in her disposition, stolid, but good- 

 humoured and friendly. 



OKAK HOSPITAL 



It contains six beds and three children's cots. The mission ship Harmony is in the 

 bay. The wooden troughs on trestles convey water from the brook to the mission 

 house and hospital. When the brook is frozen, water is ladled from beneath the ice 

 on the big river, and brought in tanks on a dog-sledge.
