PLATE I.
(Mason. Throwing-sticks.)
Fig. 1. Eskimo launching a seal harpoon by means
of the throwing-stick. Mr. John Murdoch states
that the hand is held much lower by the Point Barrow
Eskimo, the harpoon resting as low as the shoulder,
and that the movement of throwing the harpoon is quick,
as in casting a fly in fishing.
[Illustration: Fig. 1. Eskimo using the
throwing-stick.]
PLATE II.
(Mason. Throwing-sticks.)
Fig. 2. Greenland type of throwing-stick.
The specific characteristics are the broad form; the
scanty grooves for thumb and fingers; the absence
of pegs, separate finger grooves, or index perforation;
but the most noteworthy are the two grommets or eyelets
to fit ivory pegs on the harpoon-shaft. The peculiar
method of strengthening the ends with ivory pieces
should also be noted. From Holsteinburg, Greenland,
1884. Catalogue number, 74126.
