"which means 'a great many'"
E-tob-al-shoe counting
on his fingers informs
me they have killed
35. They bring me the
four quarters of one for
my dogs and oneat
for ourselves tonight.
Today we move camp
to where they are which
is only a short distance,
tonight I witnessed
a most curious sight-
a dog refusing a choice
sirloin and an Eskimo
with a sigh threw his
pawife into the corner
of the igloo and me at
beef into - the pan.
We are full hearts,
tongues and livers do
not tempt us. This
killing puts us on
easy street-- there are
many more often in
sight so I believe it
will pay to stop here, rest-
and fatten our dogs.
It looks tonight as
if we might succeed.
