202 CARIBOU SHOOTING IN NEWFOUNDLAND. 



Wednesday November 7th. Thermometer 32; blow- 

 ing a terrific gale from the northwest all day. Man- 

 aged to load some of our plunder ; but as the water 

 was so wild that it was with difficulty that we kept 

 the yacht from dragging her anchors, the idea of 

 sailing was abandoned until the storm was abated. 



Thursday, November 8th. Thermometer 32; clear 

 and pleasant. As the troubled waters had subsided, 

 ^ye set sail at an early hour and arrived at Pilley's at 

 12 M., in good shape, where we were welcomed by 

 Mr. Herbert, with whom we engaged quarters until 

 our ship should sail. After settling Avith our yacht 

 captain and the hands necessary to run the same, we 

 found that the whole bill footed up $30.00 just 

 $ 20.00 more than it should have cost us, had we done 

 as it is to be hoped others will, viz., engage Capt. 

 Colburn to meet them at the head of Hall's Bay 

 with the Nipkin on a certain day, and make it a 

 point to be there read}'' to embark. This was mistake 

 No. 6. 



We at once proceeded to pack our trophies for 

 transportation, and were materially assisted by Mr. 

 Herbert, who furnished three large packing boxes 

 into which we packed our heads, headskins, tent and 

 other large articles which we would not need on the 

 voyage home.
