XI AWAY TO THE MOOSE-GROUND 223 



none the worse for that, since it was our first meal since 

 about 6 A.M. 



Next day 1 moved camp again to a fresh bit of country, 

 and sent word to Glyn telling him to join me if he was 

 having no luck. Of course, as is always the case, my two 

 natives came across three large bull moose, all close to them

Mr. Forbes informed us that he and his friend Mr.
