The Goldee houses are heated to a high degree, and their inmates sleep without clothing.

The delay in admitting us was to permit the head of the house to dress in reception costume, which he did by putting on his shirt.
After wishing this aboriginal a long and happy life, and thanking him for his courtesy, we departed.

I bumped my head against the rafters both in entering and leaving, and found considerable difference between the temperature in the house and out of it.

The peasant offered to guide us to visit more Goldees, but we returned to the boat and retired to sleep.
The Russian peasants and the natives live in perfect harmony and are of mutual advantage and assistance.

The peasant furnishes the native with salt, flour, and other things, while the latter catches fish, enough for both.
