The block house at British Camp.

The Royal Marine camp was established 13 miles north of American Camp, on Garrison Bay. Royal navy officials wanted to maintain a healthy distance from the U.S. camp.

Old Inuit Song

I think over again my small adventures

My fears

Those small ones that seemed so big

For all the vital things I had to get and to reach

And yet there is only one great thing

The only thing

To live to see the great day that dawns

And the light that fills the world
