Transcriber Note
Images were placed so as to not split paragraphs. Proper names were standardized to either the most prevalent form or through an Internet search. On [page 66], a minus sign was added: “The thermometer stood at -46°, seventy-eight below the freezing point.” [32° - 78° = -46°] Other possible inconsistencies were left as stated (ex., [p. 140],“... Sievu, the wife of Metek ...”; and [p. 206], “... Metek and Nualik his wife ...”).
