cranberry sauce, boiled rice $38 with raisins, pilot bread, coffee, butler and milk - a good dinner followed by cigars and music. Our Eqingwah and Innahsok were at dinner of course and they and E- gingwah Badu and Alfredlungwah came too listen to the music. Rasmussen speaks highly of Peary's work in the Arctic and his influence over the Smith Sound Eskimos. He taught the people many use- ful things, gave them good fire arms and many utensils and started them on the road to pros- perity. R. says that no one famil- iar with conditions in the Far North would criticize Peary for his announcement of "Peary Chan- nel" and "Crocker Land".
