Fig. 55. CAMPING ox THE ARCTIC COAST. 



From a photograph of Mr. Stone's camp among the Eskimo on Allen Channel, on the Arctic 

 coast, about 100 miles east of the mouth of the Mackenzie. At this camp ended Mr. Stone's 

 long sledge journey, on the 24th day of May, 1899. This trip of 2000 miles was made with two 

 assistants, one of whom, an Indian, fell sick of scurvy, and when this camp was reached had 

 been carried on the top of the dog sled for 650 miles. He was taken from this point to the head 

 of the Mackenzie Delta, distant 250 miles, in an open boat and restored to his people.
