Abstract
A detailed report which the RCMP officer at Herschel Island forwarded to his superiors in Edmonton after Knud Rasmussen had passed through, during the Fifth Thule Expedition, is reproduced here verbatim. Even though the text is not in Rasmussen's own words, it appears to usefully complement and expand the existing picture of him as a researcher. It, at the same time, also reveals some undeniable flaws.
Résumé
On reproduit ici textuellement le rapport détaillé que l’officier de la gendarmerie royale posté à l’île d’Herschel fit parvenir à ses supérieurs d’Edmonton suite au passage de Knud Rasmussen durant la cinquième expédition de Thulé. Bien que le texte ne soit pas de Rasmussen à proprement parler, il semble compléter et accroître d’une façon utile son image de chercheur. En même temps, il révèle d’indéniables failles.
