. Rapport de l'Expédition arctique canadienne 1913-1918. Des expéditions scientifiques. 69 logements construits en cercles contigus, un petit arc de chacun étant laissées à découvert de former une avant-cour et par la suite plus couverte d'un dôme comme dans l'architecture Byzantine. La dance-house, qui est habituellement construit sur une maison de deux pièces, est fait exactement de la même manière, seulement le dôme est plus grand, et le toit en consequehce plus élevé, de sorte que les constructeurs ont à subir sur les sacs pour le terminer. Dans Aksiatak's double chambre une fenêtre de glace a été laissé sur le côté du dôme de sorte qu'il éclairait à la fois l'avant-cour et Aksiatak

. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. Dwellings 69 built as contiguous circles, a small arc of each being left uncovered to form a common forecourt and afterwards roofed over with a dome as in Byzantine architecture. The dance-house, which is usually built over a two-roomed house, is made in exactly the same way, only the dome is much larger, and the roof in consequehce higher, so that the builders have to stand on bags to finish it. In Aksiatak's double house an ice window was let into the side of the dome so that it lit up both the forecourt and Aksiatak's room; a similar window was set in the front of Hitkok's room. At the bottom of the forecourt wall, imme- diately below the window, was the low arched doorway, cut in one of the snow- blocks with a single sweep of the knife. One entered on hands and knees; so narrow in fact was the doorway that a person rather bigger than the average had some difficulty in squeezing through. Half-way along its length the passage broadened, and here was kept the snowshovel, as well as one or two other things. Fig. 18. Two houses built in oollaboration, with a single passage for both which could not conveniently be brought into the house, and would not be damaged by the dogs. The passage then made a sharp curve before issuing out into the open air, so that its mouth, being directed northward, would drift up less easily under the prevailing east and west winds. One day, however, a north wind arose, and Aksiatak had to extend his passage so that it opened towards another point of the compass, a task he performed in a very few minutes. Various sticks, harpoons, etc., were planted upright in the walls around the out- side of the house, and bales of clothing were laid on top of the outer rampart. The dimensions of the two rooms were as follows:— Aksiatak's room. Hitkok's room Length (max.) 10' 5" 11' Breadth (max.) 6' 9" 8' 11" Height (max.) 5' 11" 6' 8" Height of platform
