NORTH POLE OF THE WINDS 



less sophisticated than this animal usually is in 

 southwest Greenland. The caribou was near and 

 apparently unfrightened. I asked Cramer why 

 he did not shoot it, to which his reply was, "We 

 had no wood to cook the meat". Later on they 

 shot a few ptarmigan, but they lived practically 

 throughout on a five-ounce ration daily cut from 

 the lump of bison pemmican which they had 

 brought with them from the plane.
