. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. 58 B Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 XLVIII. The Kayak This is the figure described by Dr. Gordon from King island, to which he gives the name, "; It is known by the same name to the Barrow, Inland, Mackenzie delta, west coast of Hudson bay and Cumberland sound Eskimos. I could find no chant at Barrow, merely the words qayaq damutiya, "the ice broke up the kayak," uttered while dropping the Uttle finger loops, when "the kayak" disappears. The Inland natives from the Endicott mountains have a chant for the figure, which is known also to the Mackenzie delta Eskimos. At Barrow the figure is produced more simply than by Dr. Gordon's method. Whether the Mackenzie Eskimos follow the Barrow method or not I failed to notice. The Barrow natives proceed as follows: Opening A. Pass the thumbs down proximal to the radial index strings and with their backs from below take up the ulnar index strings. Release the indices. With the thumbs from the proximal side remove the little finger loops. Pass the little fingers from below from the proximal side into the thumb loops and, moving them towards the middle, allow the lower transverse string to slip off, then hook the little fingers down over it. (Hitherto the method is the same as Dr. Gordon's.) With the palms of the indices from the distal side turn out all the radial thumb strings and release the thumbs. Allow the transverse string to slip over the tips of the indices, then, passing each thumb through the index loop of its hand, take up with it this transverse string from below and draw it out to the proximal side of all the strings. Katilluik the thumbs, then spread apart with the indices the two loops on the thumbs. You have "the ;.
