model was two winters and a sum
mer.

ivory, the masts, spars and railings
being made from the jawbone of a
whale. The rigging is made from
sinew and whalebone and the sails
are made of oogaruk gut. The pegs
with which the ivory is held in place

mast 21 inches and its beam in six
inches. The name inscribed on the
model ivory boat is “The New Deal.”

Natives of the Diomede Island
have long been accorded the honor
of the construction of the finest and
largest ivory vessels, but with the
completion of the one now on dis
play, popular opinion esablishes the
record for the King Islanders.
The vessel is modeled after the
former U. S. Coast Guard Cutter
Bear, now the Bear of Oakland, us
ed by Admiral Byrd in his Antarctic
expeditions.
r or a masterly piece of workman
ship, and a host of detail, the model
is complete to the finest points. The
technique of rigging and appliances
included on the boat clearly demon
strate the ability of these native car
vers, and their high quality of work.
Examine “The New Deal," as it is
called, and see the result of nearly
two years of work. It is worth the
time of anyone to see this model
ivory boat.

Oklahoma fairest daughter of the

Gone are two sons that once tugged
at your breast,
Away like an Eagle their spirits
have flown,
But that which is mortal we're send

With Eskimos weeping from Barrow

No greater respect to King ever was
shown.

Alaska, Alaska, gowned in the Mid

Truely a warm spot in my’ heart you
have won
I thought of you always as distant

In bereavement you weep with me

Now stronger the links of our love
binding chain,
So my Wiley and Will have died not
in vain.
