the Esquimaux Lady

[…] Our house was built of snow. It was round, perhaps sixteen feet acroos, and coming to a point at the top. It was lined with fur on all sides, and was carpeted with a double thickness of fur.
They way they lined the house was to take a skin of some animal, and hold it near a fire, which was in the centre of the room. When the skin was heated through, they took it and pressed it against the wall. In a short time, it stuck to the wall so tightly that it could not be pulled off without tearing the skin. […]
