was smooth and the ride [31] enjoyable. We beached the canoe in a cove near the tupiás and returned on foot across the isth- mus to the house, arriving at 4 p.m. It was my day on as cook and I had been planning to have boiled ham for dinner, but it was too late to get that ready and I fell back on boiling some akhatís (murres) which, fortunately, Juma- cok had made ready for cooking. These birds are not nearly so fine in flavor as the akputtiaks or even as the fruisse. Here the akhatis are called little anks by Peter, whereas we called the akputtiak by their name. After dinner Ek + Dr. took the Canoe and went for us. Woster -
