 upon the pigs, had not been heard even by 

 any of the Indians, although some of their

" Shall we punish the dogs? " asked 

 Martin. 



" Do as you like," I replied, " but what 

 good will it do them? Such is their nature 

 and I am going to get rid of them as soon 

 as possible. There are other kinds of dogs 

 with none of their miserable ways, and I 

 am going to have them if money or friends 

 can secure them." 



At once I returned to the house. Whether 

 Martin gave them a thrashing or not, I 

 never inquired. My efforts for the uplift- 

 ing and the reformation of Eskimo dogs, as 

 a class, then and there ceased. I had in- 

 dividual dogs afterward that I could trust 

 when in harness, or tied securety to a tree 

 or post, but that was the extent of my use 

 for them.
