About this book
Among unknown Eskimo is a book by Julian W. Bilby. A chapter headed "The Voyage to the Arctics" says that a voyage to the Arctics has always been a dangerous and exciting adventure. The text calls icebergs, those rightly dreaded wanderers of the northern seas, a glorious vision in bright, calm weather as they wend their majestic course to the south.
The text says the ancient Arctic mariner will tell you that an iceberg can sail against the wind as well as with it. The text says that the male bear blocks up the entrance, and the next fall or drift of snow effectively completes his task and obliterates all traces of the animal's activities. The text says that a couple of boats, a good store of hunting weapons, plenty of skins, a team of well-trained dogs and two sleds constitute the Eskimo house-holder's wealth and determine his social precedence and standing in the tribe.
