On landing here (Ti-Koon) myself & Innuits proceeded toward a small plain 1/4 or 1/5 of a mile Ex of Cape. The Innuits proceeded on I having my compass and tripod wh. detained me.  [[image - drawing coming in from the left margin overlapping some of the text. Sketch consists of a jagged shoreline at top with the prominent peninsula labeled "TiKoon." Below that prom. there are three islands rightmost labeled "Kud-lu-narn," "Oo-ping-ne-wing," "Ni-oun-te-lik."]]
I was where I could overlook the plain & the Innuits. All at once my attention was drawn to the Ex of the plain facing Kud-lu-narn by the beach when I saw Koo-per-neung calling by shouts to the other Innuits & myself holding up his arms and hands - The Innuits started on a run & so did I for I was sure something of interest had been found! Arriving at the spot, What was before me? A relic of three Centuries? [[underlined]] Iron [[/underlined]], Time-eaten with its jagged teeth! This iron weighing 15 to 20 lbs. was on the top of a granite rock just within reach of high tide at full & Change of Moon The iron Stain from this specimen was on the rock - (Its top) otherwise it was cleanly washed. This is just what I wanted to find [[underlined]] some of the "heavy Stone" [[/underlined]] wh. the venerable Innuit woman O-kin-in-ju-ax-y Ni-noo told me about last winter.
