to tying them to a rock, the woman brings up from the sledge
an armful of the rounded trap stones which they gathered a hun-
dred miles or more up the coast , for use as hammers upon the
"Saviksue". Upon the sledge may be seen in addition to these
stones the meat of a seal just killed on the bay below, which
will insure an ample supply of food for the eentire party during
the several days that they must remain in order to obtain their
meager supply of the precious iron.
It is intended that this group shall be constructed
with absolute fidelity to the original, and that it shall be
composed in every detail of actual material brought from the
original locality.
In addition taethetaerolites themselves a considerable quan-
tity of the trap stones and lichen covered gneissose boulders
have been brought back ) and still more will be obtained.
All the costumes will be the real article taken directly
from the natives, and the figures themselves will be reproduc-
ed from casts made from living individuals in the tribe.
The dogs will be actual teams purchased from the natives and
mounted for this express object, and the two ancient knives
noted above, the only ones in existence made from the iron of
these aerolites, will appear in the group.
The background will be painted from photographs and sketches
