Boats had started off for "King William's Land"!  
Breakfast as usual Dinner Bean Soup
Supper "black Skin", Coffee & Sea bread.
To-night or rather just as Sun went down behind high land W (2.30 PM) walked ashore. While at Ebierbing's found him "dressing up" - said he was going to Theatre. Found that Innuits have grand times now every night - promised E. that I would be present at Ook-sing's the Tupik of the Innuit where the Innuit plays are performed.
At 1/2 past six I was preparing to go over.  Capt. B. had retired & nearly all the others - but C B. was not asleep. I got him up & dressed - when he & Gardiner accompanied me to see the fun! The Eve delightful - Aurora & Moon enlightening our way.  Quickly there. The Innuits (men on outside Ook Sing's Tupik dancing & wrestling! Capt. B. bowed his head, looked in Tupik & crowded himself into a mass of Innuits I & Gardiner following. "Jim Crow" was the Band (the musical band!) & the dancer.  While he performed on the Kie-lonn (the same as a Tamborine except that it has no bells & is furnished with a handle!) & [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] performed antic motions, the house (?) filled with Innuit ladies wh. were singing & rocking each other at each stroke of the Kie-lonn  rang with joy and gladness, The performance on Kie-lnn by Ook-Sing next - then by myself! followed by Capt B. till he was disabled by a rap of the finger. A rich treat!
