HOMEWARD BOUND 271 



I give in an appendix my list of stores, but I 

 had far too much. One and a half stone of flour 

 is ample for four men for one week, the amount 

 taken will then depend on the length of the 

 trip. The cost as paid in St. John's is given. 

 I had many stores over, for we had abundance 

 of venison and fish. 



Fish need never be wasted ; the trout split, 

 salted and hung up over or near the camp fire 

 make excellent kippers, and when up on the 

 Shoe Hill Ridge, where no fresh fish were 

 obtainable, I thoroughly enjoyed the kippered 

 trout from Sandy Grove Pond.
