174 BIG GAME SHOOTING IN ALASKA chap, ix 



were brought every morning to our door by one of Mr. 

 Wetherbee's men. 



In the local store I found a good collection of furs caught 

 by the natives in the neighbourhood. The mink, marten, 

 and lynx skins being excellent, 1 could not resist the 

 temptation of doing a small deal with Mr. Wetherbee for 

 some of them.
