Masik stayed two more days and then left. Hutchison would see him again at Nome and then at Carlowrie. Special Constable Ethier and his wife would look after her for two days, before organising a local guide to take her to Aklavik. They left on 10 November, in −20 degrees, and arrived at Head Point at four o'clock. The next day, a young Inuk called Isaac was paid to take her to Shingle Point. It was 20 degrees colder than the previous day, and Hutchison was forced to run behind the sled to keep warm. When she arrived at Shingle Point she was fed royally by three English ladies and Mr Webster, the Anglican minister. There was a school here, and she started to wonder about the effect the white teachers were having on the Eskimos: English was no use to them when they went back to their families. In addition, many illnesses were being brought in and several Eskimos were sick or had died. She stayed here for thirteen days, but on 23 November, a group set off for Aklavik. It was so cold that they turned back after two hours. The next day was warmer, and two days later they reached Aklavik. This was a well established town and the administrative centre for the area. The church and police had bases here, and planes and ships arrived here. Hutchison joined in the social life, but was a curiosity as a single woman. Not wishing to cause offence, she was very careful to edit her accounts of how she stayed with the various traders and Eskimos. She left the town on by aeroplane on 5 February, and after several legs, arrived in Winnipeg. From here she caught the "Alaunier", and got back to Scotland in the beginning of March. Her exploits had gone before her to Britain, and there had been a report of her activities in the "Times" on 10 January. In the last week of May 1936, Hutchison left Scotland for Montreal, whence she travelled to Winnipeg and finally Seattle, where she caught the "Yukon" for a journey along the coast reaching Seward. She found that the information she had been given about ships and sailing times in Washington was theoretical, and so had to adapt accordingly. She had booked a passage on the "Starr", but this would be three weeks late, and so she also booked on the "Curaçao". This took her overnight to Kodiak, Alaska, where she booked into the Sunbeam Hotel.
