CHAPTER XV. 



HOW WE PASSED THE WINTER. 



VI TE have spoken of all the games and 

 * sports, the troubles and labors of 

 the little ones of far-away Eskimo land, 

 and even chronicled some of the doings 

 of the small boys who had had interest- 

 ing adventures of their own, and now, 

 I suppose, you might like to hear how 

 we white men lived in the Arctic regions, 

 when with all these Eskimo people and 

 their children, and, especially, how we 

 passed the winter with them.
