notes:
Text explains that the harpoons are made of bone, sinew, and iron. A bladder is attached to the string so that the harpoon can be retrieved after being thrown. The barb is inserted into the shaft so that when it is lodged in the animal it detaches, and the shaft will not be broken.David Cranz, a German historian and missionary, spent 14 months in Greenland in 1761-62.
