Not long after my arrival at Port Harrison, I participated in a joyous evening of Eskimo dance. I was struck by the athletic vigour of the dance, for example, the pressure with which the young women grasped my hand in the "grand right-and-left" that forms the chorus of every dance. Since I was enjoying myself immensely, I returned the squeeze to the girls with equal pressure. Late that night I wrote in my notes: "Eskimos dance with great vigour."
