When the inside was opened up, old Alloken scooped up with his brown dished hand the warm blood & drank it. This he done till 2 quarts or so more stored away in his great Innuit store - house - the [[underlined]] only ones Innuits have! [[/underlined]]
I participated in eating ood-noo & marrow the latter blood - warm from the mashed bones of the Took-too's legs.
From this point started in sail for cape of 7th Enc to make our 21st Enc.
I was interested a short time after starting out in witnessing the lady Innuits of both crews competing smartly in pulling oars while Boats were still under good breeze that the one party [[strikethrough]] my [[/strikethrough]] might precedeth often in arriving to Enc. (21st) to select the most choice places for Tupiks!
I will write what I intended before this that the ood-noo of wh. Innuits are so fond - my self not excepted is on the rump of the Too-tu.
The Moon is getting big again - As we approached this 21st Enc She arose over the Cape of our Enc while the sun was just setting up the Bay at our backs.
