Whaling Scene Described by Eskimo Hunters
An Esquiman would rise on the ice with gun or harpoon as seals approach and seem joyful in the music. If a venturesome seal nears, the hunter may shoot, turning the seal’s mood to sorrow while others flee. The narrator notes that continuous whistling by another Esquiman heightened the effect and that he tried the experiment himself with similar results.
