THE BELCHER ISLANDS 35 kindly Eskimos who had served us so well, we gave out the last we had — a mirror with a gilt frame, old blankets, clothing, old shoes, precious bits of metal, and an old alarm clock with one hand, knives, old pots and kettles and pans, and most wonderful of all, some oranges from the Laddie — “peeruwalluk pumwa” (the very best of all that is sweet), they said. Enraptured, they rubbed them against their noses. We said our good-byes regretfully enough. Anxiously they inquired if ever they should see us again. I had not the courage to be definite on that point; I knew that when summer again rolled around they would climb to the highest hill, hopeful for a sight of us.
