I was very hungry. My mother went behind him and hanged iaim. Drop the left little finger loop; "the man" is Fig. 209 CXXXIX. The Swan This figure is known from Barrow to Coronation gulf under the same name quyyuk or quyyuk, "the whistling swan," but only among the Mackenzie natives could I discover a chant with it. The Hudson bay and Cumberland sound Eskimos know it also as swan, as I learnt from Boas' collection. Proceed as in "a man hanging" up to the stage illustrated by fig. 208. At this point pass the right thumb under the radial right index string from the proximal side and with its back take up the two strings that run from the right palmar string to loop round the upper transverse string. Inserting the left thumb into the right thumb loops, complete the move- ment of katilluik. A portion of the lower transverse string is intercepted between two loops. Raise the two distal horizontal strings on the back of the figure with the right index from below on the distal side, then pass the right the right thumb loop from the distal side, take up with its palm the lower transverse string at this place and draw it out to the distal side of all the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Canadian Arctic Expedition
