Price

950 Edition 13 3/8" x 8 7/8"
The Eskimos of the Bering Sea coast find many uses for the bones of the great bowhead whale, among them: swings, fish and meat-drying racks, posts for radio entennas, umiak raks, and grave markers. At Gambell, on St. LAwrence Islands, I once saw a fresh wahle bone with about forty pounds of meat still attached used as a tether for a very happy husky.
