Kate and I with Eskimo woman and Simeon. |
The H.B.C. three-masted schooner, "Fort Garry" lying beside Nascopie taking on supplies to distribute to posts on Ungava Bay. The barrels of flour are being loaded into native boats to be taken ashore. We stood on some barrels and men lowered into a boat. Third officer (in white) taking his ease while checking cargo. |
Husky pups lying beside Mr Harp's hot bed, where he was growing lettuce, carrots, etc. Alan Scott in background. Stan Stevens. |
Dougie & I with Eskimo family Kyak [sic] in rear on poles to keep the dogs from chewing it. |
Port Burwell N.W.T. This is a very important post as it is the distributing centre for a wide area. As it is at the entrance of the Straits, the Nascopie makes three calls a year; also leaves "white boat" and cargo boats here for the winter. Furs are discharged here on the trip to Craig Harbor, and picked up on return trip. A very difficult harbor to navigate, but we did it in record time this year. No ice, which was unusual. The R.C.M.P. is being removed from this port. |
I am wearing Alan Scott's artigie [atigi] trimmed with blue fox. |
Eskimo brass band. They played hymns and volume counted more than tune. They teach each other the use of the instruments. |
