The want of awls and needles was supplied by bits of iron which they collected. Of these they made a kind of wire, which being heated redhot, was pierced with a knife ground to a sharp point, which formed the eye of a needle. The sinews of bears and reindeer, split into threads, served for sewing the pieces of leather together, which enabled them to procure jackets and trousers for summer dress; and a long fur gown, with a hood, for their winter apparel.
