skin of the walrus to make their
Lammas skin hosts, and roofing for

for making rope. The green hides
are split to the desired thickness, and
a strip 1s cut around and around the
hide until it is several bunred feet
in length. It is then stretched in the
open air to dry. The Eskimos use
the walrus hide rope in preference
to the best Manila rope that 1s made.
The natives of north-western Alaska

walrus to make raincoats. The cut
