Return on Board. 



Hermann took the hind quarters, the doctor one 

 fore quarter , I the other and the head. This, with 

 my rifle and ammunition, made a tolerably heavy 

 load for a weary man. I don't believe I could have 

 gone a mile further, and was most thankful to get 

 down to the boat. I intended going on to the 

 south point of the bay, and then on to Bellot 

 Straits ; but seeing the red ensign flying on board 

 the ship, we were forced to return, arriving at 

 7 p. m., after a most interesting and successful 

 twenty-four hours' cruise. 



Deer's head.
