and seal and can find no other location for their 
arangas. 
We made fifty miles during the day. It was 
light nearly all of the twenty-four hours now and 
we were able to keep going until seven o’clock in 
the evening, before stopping at a very comfortable 
aranga for the night. 
Sitting on the sledge so long, when I had not 
been used to it, made my back ache and the pain 
was so great that I did not sleep at all; in fact, I 
had a miserable night. The air in the aranga, too, 
was very hot. 
The next day we got away shortly after day¬ 
break. The going was rough in many places and 
we had to travel close under the cliffs. It was a 
warm day, with a temperature about freezing; 
where the sun’s rays struck the angles of the cliffs 
water was dropping. There was, in fact, a good 
deal of danger in passing along under the cliffs, 
for the heat of the sun was releasing the boulders 
that the frost had dislodged during the winter and 
now they came tearing down the face of the cliff 
without warning straight across our path. 
As we journeyed on the pleasant warmth of the 
sun’s rays made the ride a rather more enjoyable 
excursion than we had been experiencing before on 
our travels. At times Corrigan and I attempted 
conversation. He could speak very little English
