The sea was
too rough to permit us to land the
evening of our arrival or to allow
any kayaks to come off to us, but

was calm and several of the odd
little crafts were clustered about
our gangway and their occupants
were offering for barter ducks, fish,
a few articles of local manufacture
and, of all things most unexpected in
this out of the way corner of the
world, cigars for barter or sale.
The kayaks were not so good as those
which we had seen at Godhavn, and
the skin clothing, carvings and models
of sleds and boats were not so nu-
merous or so well made.
