OUR FIRST MOOSE n 



We really had a moose ! After dressing him 

 where he fell, we procured withes for thongs, 

 and birch-bark to lay the meat upon, and 

 each shouldered his load and off to camp. 

 But this was not all of it. There were two 

 more similar trips to be made, so that by the 

 time we had the carcase hung up out of the 

 reach of foxes and bears, close by the camp, 

 we were quite ready to rest for a couple of 

 hours. Then we had moose-steak, tender, 

 juicy, delicious.
