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".
