where I met Dr. Hunt and Mac
Dougal returning from the cache
near Cape Dudley Digges, Dr. was tuing-
fifty
ing in a fifty pound box of prunes.
It seemed to me like quite a load
for a five mile carry, but Dr. said
that it was "nothing". Once he carried
a 130-pound deer carcass on his shoul-
ders through the Maine woods. I wore
my kooletah in addition to my bear skin
pants and found myself too warmly
clothed for much walking. Better too
warm than too cold, however, in my
present condition.
Had first class hare-stew for
dinner to-day - but nothing
else except bread, biscuit, butter
and tea. Standard breakfast continues
to be oatmeal or cornmeal mush, beans,
bread, butter, molasses and coffee.
