Inscribed beneath images: 169. It was a surprise to find an Eskimo on the Cape Hope Island using a guitar with fair success. 170. The neck yoke is in common use among the Eskimos in the Cape Hope Islands - in fact along the whole Quebec coast. 171. George Wetaltuk, the patriarch of the Cape Hope Island Eskimos, takes aim in the shooting competition. 172. George Wetaltuk uses modern tools when carving ivory. 174. Cst. Van Blarcom tagging fox at Moose Factory. George Papp in the centre is the independent fur trader at Richmond Gulf. 175. A rare bird at Moose Factory makes a regular tapping noise resembling the sound of two bones striking together. Jim Houston, while there, started a story that the tapping was made by Unga the Torarak (Little Devil) and represented the Torarak as a happy customer, something after the style of the Irish leprechaun.
