Excerpt from Frozen Justice: A Story of Alaska Along the low, sandy foreshore, on a stretch of four or five miles, stands hut after hut, built of wood, made snug with turf; and outside each hut is a platform, raised high above the ground. On this all the household goods are stored meat, blubber, skin-bladders full of oil, hides tanned and raw, clothes old and new, dog-har ness, kayaks, sledges, spears, lances, weapons and tools of all sorts - everything an Eskimo has use for is here, lashed together with stout sealskin thongs, safe from the furious winter storms, from being buried under the snow, but above all from the evil designs of the dogs.
