Eastern Arctic Patrol, album 37, page 77

Inscribed beneath images: 60-1950 - Coppermine. 61-1950 - Holman Island post. 62-1950 - This is the son of Wallus, an Eskimo residing at Holman Island. 63-1950 - Near Bathurst Inlet large numbers of caribou were in evidence and packs of wolves were seen at various times. Here a group of five wolves were frightened by the noise of the airplane. 64-1950 - Here caribou hides are being prepared for use as bedding. The caribou in this instance were shot during the winter months and, therefore, the hides would be of little value for clothing, being long they would be valuable for sleeping ropes. 65-1950 - Homes at the Read Island settlement are usually made of tents covered with snow. This makes it possible for larger fires to be built in the homes. In real igloos made of snow such fires could not be built.
