It basks at the edge of ope¢t; water, dlidi g off and dlslappearing in a split second. White men find it d71fIeult to approach within 150 feet. But an Eskimo, inching along on his belly, fools his pry with seal -like movements and with au implement that has claw's at- tached, to imitate, the sound a steal a makes when eratcxhiaig the ice. •An expert Eskimo can crawl close en- ough nough to grab a Ripper with ome band and drive his knife home with the the other. • . When the Ee*uimo 'gets a walrus weighing more than a ton on the end of a harpoon line, he Is faced with a major engi ioertng problem: how to get it from the water onto the ice. Mechanical contzdvances belong to a world in whose development the Esik. Imo has bad no part. No implement ever devised 'by him has had a wheel in it. Yet this does not prevent him from, improvising a block-aadaackle that worts without a pulley. He, cuts holes in the bide of the walrus and a U-shaped !bole in the ice some dis- tance away. Through. these holes he threw lis a slippery rawhide line, once over 'and once again. He doesn't know the mechanical theory of the double pulley, but he does' know that if he llauls art osie end- o'f the line be will drag the walrus out of the wa- ter, onto the toe., On the water the Eskimo site in a one-man boat of seal hide stretched over ' a light framework fashioned from driftwood or. sapling. The hide completely necks the top of the boat except for the leole into which he sticks his legs; and once in the boat the ties bis waterproof jacket secure- ly around the hole, making the boat so virtually part of his body that are ('becomes ,a water animal. When an overwhelming roller curls down, upon him he voluntarily capsizes, receiving the blow on the bottom, of his kayak, and righting himself when the deluge is• past - Though he rejoices in the impos- sible, even the Eskimo must bave tfhougaht twice before settling on. bar- men King Island, in Bering Sea. Mar- ooned .there, seemingly he would face starvaatioa, for precipitous cliffs and a raging surf cut him off from the seal and walrus in the sea below. But even on thle bleak rock the Eskimo bas established a flourishing village, from which she puts to sea even in the moat forbidding weather. We think of the catapult method for launching airplanes as a last word in our mechanical age, but the Eski- mo has used this principle for gen- erations. On the land the paddler sits in his kayak or in his larger boat, the umiak, while companions on either, side lift him, bout and ail. Swinging him like a 'pendulum, they let fly at a given signal, and the fisherman and his boat are thrown olear of the breaking waves. The Eskimo's #mventivenese is the more remarkable when we realize the sparsity of his population. All the Eskimos in the world could be seat- ed in th'e Yale Bowl without filling half the seats Fturther, .they are scattieredl east and west over a dis- tance 800 males greater than that from New York to San Francisco, and north and south over a distance greater than that . from Maine to Florida. The Eskimo has no tecahnical school, no library to help solve his problems. What he knows he has learned in the school of experience. As example„ let us follow Okluk ua: b three-day trip north to visit his ,ou- sters camp for the yeartE festival. First of all be must liave a sledge. But there s not enough driftwood to build one and, like most of his peo- ple, he lives beyond the timber line. So Okluk soaks broad strips of walrus hide in water and rolls them up with +salmon i�naid+e, latch lengtrh- wise. Then he sets the bundles out- side to freeze solid. Soon he has en- ough solid pieces to lash together to make a wall -we -skin sledge. This will carry him and his baggage, as long as cold weather lasts. He travels light, though he wail pass to settlement on, the way. He does take fresh straw for his boots; he knows, though many a white man hasn't believed it and has suffered frozen toes as a oonerequence, that the straw in the boots should be changed daily if it is to continue to insudate against the cold. He takes food for his doge, but little for him- self. imself. He takes seal oil to light and heat the overnight huts he will build. That is practically all. Yet he con- templates a trip that will be pleas- ant in every way. At night in short order he buils a snow house in which he is soon too warm, tor comfort. He takes off most of his clothing, but continues to per- spire though nothing separates him from 40 degrees below zero except a shell of snow. . Th•e source of this heat is his seal -oil lamp, whose long, ,lot,3v Wick of moss gives a flame eight inches or more'in length, ,which sends its cheerful glow through an ingen- ious wihdow o'f clear ice onto the windy world of ioe and saow. Since Okluk poss+eseas no matches, he produces a light for his lamp by friction. He spins rapidly a piece of dried wood, one of whose ends Is in a socket held in hie teeth while the other end turns in a socket pressed against the ground,,in which there is a cotton -like substace for tinder., Why does his enow house not melt? Okluk has never studied thermosta- tics, atn•d can't 'comet above six; but tie knows that though the air in his hut is warm, the in'te'nse cold outside Will neutralize thisand keep the ward from melting. • Okluk has no min or boor:and-ar- row, yet lee would like to breakfast on one of the birds flying about tri the early morning. He enlarges the ,ventilating hole of hie snow hut, sprinkles bite of meat 'nom it, and: quietly awakes a flutter of winge.

At night Olduk 'hears' wolves howl- ing. He doesn't like wolves- But bow can he kill a wolf without gun or trap or 'even his wh'alebon'e? He smears his knife With blood and buries it in the snow with only the blade protruding. From the door of This but he sees the wolf approaching, drawn to the blade by the scent. ¶ he wolf licks the blade, cutting his tongue. Elicited by the taste and smell, he gourmnnduzes, literally whet- ipg his own appetite. Okluk sees him drop from weakness, bleeding to death while gorged with this own life- blood- Okluk hate a fine pelt to take to the festival. When he reaches his d+est5nation, Okluk uses his sledge for toed. He feeds the thawed walrus skin to hie dogs, and stuffs himself on tbe sal- mon that was rolled up amide.. MANLEY Mee. M.
