Koo-ter-ne-ung's ^[[(Koo-ou-le-arng ("Susy") I think) = see p2 of Oct 4 H)]] description of the Innuits making tests of their strength when she saw it, acquaints me that their way of taking hold of it was same as described by Ar-tark-pa-ru's.  It was six years ago that A. saw this relic last.  Before he (A.) was crippled in his legs he say that he could & did often lift it.  From all accounts, Artarkparu was formerly one of the strongest amongst his people.
How remarkable these Innuits are in their memory of what they have seen!  
Ugarny saw this relic when a small boy & has not seen it since.  He is now, I should think 45 years of age - has had, in all, 5 wives has now two - & he represents by model to-day in remarkable correspondence with Artarkparu who saw it 6 years since.  Both have made without doubts good representations of the relic itself.  Several Innuits agree in saying that they have seen same shaped Anvils on Board English Whaling vessels.  The Blacksmith of this vessel says that he has likewise.
This matter is now well settled - that there is an Anvil weighing 150 or perhaps 200 lbs. without "horn" on the Island Oo-pung-ne-wing - a relic of Frobisher of 1578.
