KIKKERTAVAK UIGOKLIALUIT. 731 



southward, about 1 mile from Tikaoralik, and there is a rock above 

 water between them. A small islet, 20 feet high, lies close north- 

 ward of Tikaoralik, and there is a narrow channel between, through 

 which 3 fathoms of water can be carried. 



Rock. — A rock is reported to bear 90°, distant 4^ miles from 

 Tikaoralik, but this position is doubtful. 



Kikkertavak is the southernmost and largest of the group. 

 Rogers harbors lie at its northeastern end and west-northwestward, 

 2 miles from Tikaoralik. These harbors lie southwestward of an 

 islet, and the entrance is deep and narrow between low rocks on 

 either hand; the anchorage is in 12 fathoms of water. There is a 

 passage between the islet and Kikkertavak from harbor to harbor. 



Two ledges, that cover at high water, lie off the northeastern har- 

 bor; to clear them, keep the shore aboard till the channel northwest- 

 ward of Rogers harbor opens. This description is old and not quite 

 clear. 



The northwestern Adlavik island rises to a round hill which 

 has a cairn on it, and between this island and Kikkertavak is an islet 

 with three hills. 



Anauiat, lying north-northeastward 3^ miles from Kikkertavak, 

 and west-northwestward 11 miles from Ragged islands, is a flat island 

 about 200 feet high. Between it and Adlavik islands are several 

 small islets and rocks. 



Mortimer shoal, awash at low water, bears approximately 286°, 

 distant 4^ miles from Anauiat; its extent has not been ascertained. 



Kidlialuit, northwestward, 6J miles from Anauiat, is a narrow 

 island, 4^ miles long, northward and southward, about 250 feet high, 

 almost divided by a fall in the hills and having a steep cliff at the 

 northern end. An island and some small islets lie southwestward 

 and southward of Kidlialuit; the inner of these are named Iron- 

 bound islands by the fishermen. 



XJig'oklialuit, lying northward 4| miles from Pomiadluk point, is 

 the northern island of a group and is about 200 feet high. Nearly a 

 mile southward of it is an island of somewhat the same height and 

 shape, but the northern island is distinguished by having a portion 

 at the extreme almost detached. 



Mission station. — The southern station of the Moravian mission 

 is at Makovik, the position of which is not given, but it appears to be 

 in the vicinity of cape Mokkovik. It is on the shore of a spacious 

 bay, with sloping hills on three sides, fairly well covered over consid- 

 erable areas b}^ small spruce trees. There is a large building, con- 

 taining under one roof a dwelling house, church, and workshops. A 

 pier was in course of construction in 1905. Fuel is plentiful. A 

 small craft has been built here. The station was founded in 1899, 

 and 150 natives are attached to it.
