June 28. Ilavinirk tells that at Point Hope when he visited the place first with his father, as well as later when he lived there, a very large cold storage house w^as owned by an old man there (whalers call him "the old chief"). This house had been built so long ago that its owner had no idea of the number of generations. When the owner died the storehouse passed to his son. The owner put into the house all the meat, etc., he had; if there was space left over he allowed others to fill it. In t...his way the house was used sometimes by two, sometimes by three men. When the owner had a whale he always used the entire house. Once there were hard times at Point Hope but not real starvation for some of the people had food. This was when the large ice house was nearly new. There was in it considerable maktak among other things. The owner began to notice that someone was stealing from the house at night. There was an orphan, now a grown man, living with the owner of the store- house. The owner told this man to watch for thieves while the rest slept.
