Add to ORKGtow vIf a man [sealer] fell through the ice, as he often did, he could usually get out with the help of his gaff. If he had any trouble, another sealer came to his aid with the hooked gaff. The gaffs were also used to handle the pelts, up to the time they were attached to the towing ropes to be hauled to the ship.PRINTED ITEM G.M.
