Durlng L96Z a member of the Housing Section vlsited these sites to make a survey of the problemi as a result a detaiied programme for studying the performance of houses during the winter of 1962-3 has been organtzed" This study will consist of a regular survey of temperature I humidity, and condensation in s elected hous es in which c ertaln construction modifications have been made " A report wlll be prepared on thls survey in L963 . Accident at Broughton Islandl the miracutoue survlval of Joanas"u'' On l9 January L963 Nowyakbik (E6-71), Peterosee (E6 -741 , Poisey (F.6-751 , and Joanasee (86-148) , four Eskimos from Klvltoo on the east coast of Baffln Island, visited Broughton Island to trade at the Hudsonts Bay Company. At about 9.00 o'clock in the morntng of January ?Z they left wlth their supplles to return to Klvitoo some fifty miles away" Nowyakbik, who at 63 was rnuch the oldest of the party, and Peterosee (26 years old) were together wlth a team of elght dogs, Joanasee (31 years old) had six dogs, and Polsey (33 y;:ars old) on a third sledge had eight or nine. Heavy snow had fallen durlng the nlght but after they left there was a very strong northwest wind whlch tasted for three days " On January 28, six days later, etght dogs seen in the s ettlement at Broughton Island -were recognlzed as being those that Polsey had been drlvlng when he left. One had no harness, three appeared to have been unhitched as there were no traces attached to their harnesses, and the other four had harnesses with the remalns of heavy duck traces which had been chewed through. One dog looked as if it had been ln the water. The Esklmos at Broughton Igland were at once very concerned about the fate of the travellers who had remarked to thern on the poor ice condltlons along the headlands between Kivitoo and Broughton Island wlth the lce moving ln and out wlth the tides " It seemed likely that the four men had drifted out into Davts Strait on ice that had broken off from the land, This informatlon was pas s ed to F roblsher and arrangementg were made for the R"C,M^Police Otter to carry out a search. The alrcrafto piloted by S/Sgt" J.F, Austln and wlth Cpl. C oB. Alexander and S /Const. Joanas ee , arri,ved at Broughton Island durlng the afternoon of January 30" There was no tlme to begln the se&rch before dark and the regt of the day'was spent in getttng detalled tnformatlon, Take-off next mornlng was at 8"00 anm, in calm but cold weather.
