Monty is standing with a white man in an Inuit parka on board ship. The same man appears in the next seven pictures. We will call him "Adam". He is in native clothing. The deck looks wintry and we think Monty returned south in late January of 1929. Monty's trip to Burwell from Montreal had taken thirteen days (North to Adventure, p.41) so he arrived near the end of July 1926. He and "Big Nick" were to spend the next nine hundred and seventeen days together at Burwell. This is roughly two years and six months. So he would have returned south near the end of January, 1929. After being checked out in hospital in Montreal he returned to Regina where he and Hazel were married on April 3rd of that year.
