282 THE ESKIMO ABOUT BERING STRAIT (ETH. ANN. 18 
A wooden pipe from Cape Prince of Wales (figure 4, plate LXxxym1) 
is cut from a single piece, the slightly flaring bowl being lined with 
tin, and an empty cartridge shell is fitted on the end of the stem for a 
mouthpiece. The lower end of the stem has three long pieces of wood 
fitted into openings to permit the removal of the nicotine from the 
interior. Fragments of a large blue bead are inlaid on the stem. 
The pipe from Cape Nome (figure 1, plate LXXXvVIII) is somewhat 
similar to the preceding, but the end of the stem is made in a separate 
piece, fitted into the larger part by a tapering joint, and wrapped with 
rawhide cord; a copper cartridge shell forms the mouthpiece. The 
underside of the pipe has a long oval piece of wood set in an opening, 
the rear end of which is guarded by a strip of tin, having its two ends 
inserted in the wood and fitted against the curve of the surface. An 
iron picker about three inches in length is fastened to the stem by a 
strip of rawhide. This picker is neatly made, with one end bent over 
against a notch in the stem, forming an eye for the strap; the lower 
end is octagonal and has a chisel-shape tip. 
A pipe from Sledge island (figure 2, plate LXXXVII1) is very similar 
to the preceding. The bowl forms a part of the stem and is lined with 
lead; on the underside of the stem, near the bow], is inserted a long, 
narrow piece of wood, to cover a hole made for removing the nicotine, 
and a similar hole appears near the mouthpiece, on the upper part of 
the stem. The mouthpiece is made by shaping the tip of the stem toa 
rounded point, leaving a shoulder about one-third of an inch from 
the end. 
The pipe from St Lawrence island (figure 3, LXXXVIII) is similar 
in shape to the preceding, but both the stem and the bowl are of lead. 
On the lower portion of the stem, next to the bowl, is an open pat- 
tern, in which are inlaid small pieces of wood; the bowl is fitted on 
the top of the stem, and held in place by a rawhide cord which passes 
around the enlarged end of the stem, the lower surface of which has 
the usual long, narrow tablet for covering an orifice. 
A pipe from Unalaklit (figure 5, plate LXXXVIII) has a wooden stem 
made in two pieces, the rear section jointed to the forward by a 
shoulder and a long, cone-shape, beveled point, which is inserted in 
the other section and fastened by a ring of brass, the ends of which 
are united by copper rivets. The mouthpiece is a smoothly tapering 
piece of ivory fitted into the stem, the joint being surrounded by a 
broad copper ring. .A plug of wood fits into the front end of the stem 
to permit the removal of the nicotine, for which purpose the joint in 
the stem is also contrived. The small cylindrical bowl is of lead with 
a broad flaring rim; on its base are two shoulders for securing the bowl 
to the stem by a rawhide cord, which is wound several times around 
the shoulders and the end of the stem and tucked under itself at each 
side. 
The pipe shown in figure 11, plate LXXXVI1I, is more strongly curved
