Allyn, a whaling schooner from New Bedford, 
Mass., which carried his equipment for the 
more serious part of his undertaking, viz., a 
journey to the Arctic Coast. The schooner 
was found only after considerable trouble, owing 
to a misunderstanding. Her place of anchorage 
was Depot Island. All was well on board. Mr. 
Hanbury remained until Oct. 5 enjoying the 
hospitality of Capt. Santos and then said fare¬ 
well and was soon under way in a full laden 
whale boat. 
Returning to the Husky encampment at the 
foot of Baker Lake, he remained there till the 
beginning of Jan. 1, hunting caribou and musk¬ 
oxen and studying Husky manners and customs. 
His account of these is most interesting. 
The Huskies, it appears, have no idea of God 
' or a future state. One of the tribe when asked 
what became of him after death, replied: 
“Husky die; no more Husky.” But this lack 
of religion cannot be said to be owing to a 
- lack of intelligence, for Mr. Hanbury found 
1 those nomads of the North superior to the 
• Indians in many respects. For one thing they 
have learned how to build a house in which 
they can be comfortable, while the Indians still 
> shiver and freeze in their miserable tepees. The 
! iglu or snow house is described in detail. Bricks 
-’of packed snow are cut with a knife and placed 
■ in a circle. Upon these others a little wider are 
-i laid and so on until the structure forms a 
perfect cone. The temperature within is at 
first cold, but gradually rises to 24 0 or 26° F. 
and here remains—the temperature outside hav¬ 
ing little or no effect on it. 
Polygamy exists among the Huskies, but is 
not general. Families are not large. But 
mothers are just as fond as elsewhere—though 
it is a little startling to read that they will some¬ 
times take their naked infants from beneath 
their deerskin robes and set them on the snow. 
On days when hunting was impossible—as 
when a blizzard was raging—Mr. Hanbury 
found a great solace in tobacco and he says 
he pities the man who does not smoke if his 
star leads him to northern wilds. But is he not 
to be pitied anywhere? 
Early in January a return was made to Depot 
Island, where some weeks were spent in pre¬ 
paring for the Arctic coast expedition. 
On Feb. 16 the sleighs being loaded and all 
in readiness farewell was said to the captain 
and crew of the Francis Allyn and a start made 
for the far off North. Besides Mr. Hanbury, 
Darrell and Sandy (the halfbreed), the party in¬ 
cluded thirteen Huskies, men, women and 
children. The Husky, it seems, does not care 
to travel without his family; but indeed the 
woman is a great help to him, in cooking, mend¬ 
ing his clothes, etc. 
The line of march was a rather zig-zag one 
to Back’s River and thence to Pelly Lake and 
the Arctic coast. Progress was of necessity 
slow; but it would not have been much faster 
even without the women and children, for the 
Husky likes to travel at his ease and must have 
several hours every day to lie off and smoke. 
There were no mishaps, and deer being plenti¬ 
ful, no danger of starvation. At night snow 
houses were rapidly built and all slept com¬ 
fortably. 
Mr. HarUm-" says that the movements of 
the d y much of a puzzle. . Undoubt- 
.’u.-.cl street ~ migrate, but it is equally cer- 
Ring tar? ymain north during the winter, 
H D Mulle- e' er, apparently in the most 
F W \v e ' - - urious habit was observed 
■R P- ..g those met with. They would sometimes 
approach the travelers within a few hundred 
yards, stare stupidly at them, then with a snort, 
a toss of the head and an impatient stamp of 
the foot would trot off. But again and again 
they would return and take to crossing back¬ 
ward and forward before the caravan. At other 
times, however, they were quite wild, and it was 
hard to get a shot at them. 
The birds observed besides the ptarmigan 
were the raven and the Snowy owl. The latter 
picks up a living off the carcasses of deer which 
have been killed by the wolves. 
On April 21 an observation of the sun’s 
meridian altitude showed that a latitude of 66° 
25' 26" N. had been attained. 
T HOUSANDS have discarded the idea of making their 
own cocktails, - all will after giving the CLUB 
COCKTAILS a fair trial. Scientifically blended from 
the choicest old liquors and mellowed with age make 
them the perfect cocktails that they are Seven kinds, 
most popular of which are Martini (Gin base), Man¬ 
hattan (Whiskey base).
