Inscribed beneath images: 97-1950 - Mr. Pete Nichols, Hudson's Bay Company District Manager. This picture was taken during the rest period while the emergency shelter (an igloo) was being built on Cape Porter where the Eastern Arctic Patrol was forced down while travelling between Gjoa Haven and Spence Bay. 98-1950 - A picture of Mr. Learmonth taken at Cape Porter while the 1950 Spring Patrol was forced down. 99-1950 - While flying between Gjoa Haven and Spence Bay fog was suddenly encountered and the plane was forced down on Cape Porter about 30 miles from Spence Bay. The day was spent setting up a small pup tent surrounded by a well of snow and building a complete igloo as a sort of porch. Mr. Learmonth was particularly adept at cutting snow blocks and Pete Nichols undertook to build the igloo. Joe Coombs, the pilot, and Fowler prepared the meals and looked after the plane while S.J. Bailey carried blocks. Everyone was busy. 100-1950 - Angulalik, his wife and family at Perry River. 101-1950 - Erny Lyle, Mr. Stanner's assistant at Spence Bay, is shown here in the new store selling goods to an Eskimo in exchange for the furs that he has brought in. 102 - 1950 - Joe Coombs is seen carrying a snow block for Pete Nichols to use in building the igloo at Cape Porter where the 1950 Spring Patrol was forced down due to bad weather. Mr. Learmonth is seen behind Joe Coombs cutting blocks.
