PLENTY OF GOOD MEAT. 337 



After I had skinned the neck and severed 

 the head from the body I removed the head- 

 skin, and leaving the skull to be fetched by my 

 men, made up as heavy a load of fat and meat 

 as I could carry with the headskin and returned 

 to camp. 



Whilst I had been away, my men had 

 brought in the hindquarters of the caribou doe 

 shot the previous evening, so that we now had 

 a plentiful supply of good meat and fat.
