A HUNTER'S CAMP-FIRES 



streams we encountered during the caribou -hunting, reached 

 the Arctic Ocean via the Dease or Eagle, Liard, and then the 

 Mackenzie River. That night was cold and still, with a brilliant 

 display of the northern lights. During the next day and a 

 half we travelled steadily eastward along an indistinct Indian 

 trail winding through barrens and willow swamps, and at noon 

 of September 27th made camp about thirty miles east of Dease 

 Lake, within the borders of the caribou country.
