...but this did not stop an entrepreneurial Inuvialuit man, Avumnuk (pictured here with his wife) from producing a spiritous brew in his homemade still and making it available to the locals. Called "Tonga", it apparently "drove men to murder," and was described as "a filthy and hellish mixture fermented and distilled from flour, molasses, raisins, yeast, and of all things, tobacco."

Isaac bought Avumnuk's still during "one of the periodic food shortages" by bartering a couple of bags of groceries. Once the still was handed over, Stringer destroyed it quite thoroughly with an axe.
