One woman has the delicate features one sees in some Scandinavian girls and that I have seen only in one half-white girl to the westward – and there to a less degree than here. I know over 20 half-bloods, and none of them resembles a white man in particular – most of them could pass among either Eskimo or whites as Eskimos if there were no particular attention drawn to them; no one could fail to be struck by the European appearance of these people (cf. accounts of [...] Klinkenberg and of Capt. Mogg and his crew, both white and Eskimo, as previously noted in my diary). I am exceedingly glad we fell in with these people: it has enabled me to verify previously received accounts, and to establish, to my own satisfaction at least, a very interesting fact. More will be written of their eyes, etc. after I have had better opportunities of seeing them.
