. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. Eskimo String Figures 175 b Carefully draw down towards the foot the strings running underneath from one transverse string to the other. Say pi-^ipi-q (like the tern)', and dive down under these two strings (between the "transverse" strings) with the right index and snatch them up, just as the tern snatches up its prey. Both foot and index are caught in rurn'.ng nooses. (The Mackenzie Eskimos, instead of diving down with the right index, quietly pulled the ulnar left index strings with the right thumb and index, when the figjire resolved.). Fig. 227 CLV. A Floundbb (?) This figure, which comes from Indian point, requires the use of both the indices of another person. It can be made, however, by using two pins or similar objects instead of the other person's indices. Loop one end of the string over both the other person's indices, keeping these close together. Pass both hands into the other end of the loop from below and, turning the hands downward over their side strings, allow the wrist loops to fall over them. With each index draw out through each hand loop the string that runs between the other person's indices, drawing your left index string through the left hand loop and the right index string through the right hand loop. A string now runs from one hand to the other, and two strings come up from the side strings, loop round it and return, thereby making a radial and an ulnar string on each side. Pass the indices into these loops from the inside and take up the ulnar strings. Thread one index loop through the other, interchanging them on the indices, then draw through each the side string of its hand, and release all but these latter. Repeat the movement with the radial strings. Now separate the two loops on the interhand string, drawing out this latter from between them, and drop all the strings save this Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page imag
