) Others appear to regard the matter as a good joke. Beechey relates that when thefts were detected, the goods were immediately returned, "with a hearty laugh in addition. " (4:395. ) Similar behavior is common in natives who indulge in fraud in trading. Amundsen speaks of a man who grinned all over his face with glee, at having, as he thought, so suc cessfully tricked me. " And when discovered, he "could not help laughing at his failure. " (1. 2:56. ) A woman, "when she saw she was found out, ...burst out laughing heartily, all the rest joining in. " (1. 1:173. ) Again they try to throw off suspicion by friendly actions, or if convicted, to offer excuses. Some Eskimo were suspected of stealing flour from the Beechey expedition, and the suspicion was strengthened by their unusual and conciliatory conduct. Also they "protested that they were innocent of the theft, and as proof that they could not possibly have committed it, they spat into the sea with disgust, in order to show how much they disliked the taste of the material, little considering that the fact of their knowing it to be nauseous was a proof of their having tasted it.
