Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1865 edition. Excerpt: ...under date of August 1st, Parry continues: --"We boat to the westward, between Nottingham Island and the north shore (King's Cape), the distance between which is about four leagues, and the latter fringed with numerous islands. In the course of the morning several canoes and one oomiak came off from the main land, containing about twenty persons, more than half of whom were women and children. They brought a little oil, some skin dresses, and tusks of the walrus, which they were desirous of exchanging for any trifle wo chose to give them." TRADITION OF PARRY'S SHIPS. 265 In this account we see a complete verification of the statement made by Ookgooalloo as to his father's visit to the only ships known to have been near his own "country." And I the more particularly allude to it because of many other reports given to me concerning the past, all of which, in my opinion, have received equal confirmation. The natives from Sekoselar were not partial to civilized food, especially Ookgooalloo and his wife Pittikzhe, for they had not tasted any before. We gave each of them a mug of coffee and some sea-biscuit. They tasted it--spit it out--tried it again and again, and finally tho man contrived to "worry" it down; but the woman gave it up, declaring, in her own Innuit way, that " such aluff was not fit to eat." Though repeatedly urged to participate in the regular meals served to the Esquimaux on board, Pittikzhe positively declined tasting any more "such barbarous food.' I found that the Innuits of Sekoselar had a very peculiar way of speaking--that is, with a slow, drawling tone. Their words are " long drawn out." The natives in our locality made fun of this, and it still more convinced me...
