FOREST AND STREAM 
February, 1922 
In the Alaska -Yukon Gamelands 
By JOHN A. McGUIRE 
Introduction by Dr. Wm. T. Hornaday 
From a collecting trip to the Far North for big game specimens, the 
author, J. A. McGuire, gives us something of a real and lasting interest 
^ and information. Bays with the packs on glaciers; climbs among the 
snow, ice and rocks for white sheep; long stalks in the timbered areas for 
moose; aerial hikes on the rolling barrens for caribou; and climbing dizzy heights 
for white goats — these are all described with a precision and vividness that makes 
us wonder if we aren't really participating in the trip. 
Handsomely illustrated from many photographs taken by the author.

Hundreds of tested formulas are here, 
with the best practice in manipulating all 
kinds of hides and skins ; we are told why 
one process is better suited to certain re- 
quirements than others, and how first-class 
results may often be achieved with less 
waste and with greater facility and speed. 
Vegetable, mineral and fatty processes are 
the subjects of long separate chapters; other 
chapters take up leathers for various pur- 
poses, from heavy belting, bag and harness 
stock to the lighter velvet and suede prod- 
ucts. Dyeing and finishing wool skins and 
furs, are skillfully treated, while the earnest 
student will appreciate the special chapter 
on analytical methods.

{Continued from page 57) 
barrel brought our attention to a very 
pretty shot. Two rapidly disappearing 
black-heads were stopped short in their 
headlong flight ; they came somersault- 
ing to the ice where they kicked around 
for an instant and then lay still. 
“Fine shot,” came the enthusiastic 
cry. 
Long John beamed with satisfaction. 
“Couldn’t let ’em get by,” he replied 
with just a touch of bravado. 
Searls, still soothing his exasperated 
spirits with muttered curses, was fool- 
ing with the breech of his gun. 
“Confound this mechanical nuisance. 
The thing always jams in a pinch. Say, 
Bill, what caused you to miss that beau- 
tiful broadside?” 
“Must ’a been buck fever,” I ex- 
plained sheepishly. I didn’t dare dis- 
close the true reason for such an inex- 
cusable miss; hut I did resolve, then and 
there, never again to carry a pipe on the 
right side of my face while ducking. 
Dick was down on the ice assisting in 
the swan song of the two canvas-back 
cripples with roaring outbursts from his 
ten. 
The air was a-hum with the rapid 
whistle and swish of retreating wings. 
The sky was alive with the circling 
birds. What would they do? Where 
would they go? We soon learned. 
After much confused circling above our 
heads, the birds, individually and col- 
lectively, headed for the narrow tide- 
run. Here they circled again, back and 
forth, like so many disturbed bees over 
a hive, till at last, the more venturesome 
dropped abruptly and the rest cautiously 
followed ; they had found another lead. 
“What had given the alarm?” we 
asked. No one had exposed himself and 
surely the ducks could not have heard 
our guarded whispers. 
“Must have smelled that rank pipe of 
yours,” ventured Long John, casting an 
accusing glance in my direction. 
Dick was coming up the shore trium- 
phantly bearing the two fine canvas- 
backs which a vigorous wind had kindh 
retrieved for him. 
“Looking for the cause of all that 
fuss?” he shouted. “There it stands.” 
We looked in the direction of his 
pointing. On the high piece of shore- 
line to the south, silhouetted in hold re- 
lief against the skyline, stood the in- 
domitable hunter. Bones. He regarded 
us in an attitude of mixed eagerness and 
apology, his long, thick tail wagging 
furiously, his nose sniffing the air in the 
vain hope of discovering the scent of a 
rabbit. 
“Great day in tha’ mo’nin’ !” exploded 
Long John. “Now, ain’t he the onery 
little devil ? I’d just love to lay ma 
hands on him — -’deed I would. Get, you 
little rascal !” 
Long John’s gaunt, angular body un- 
derwent the vigorous contortions of a 
feigned pitch, whereupon Bones, with 
receding tail and cowering body, faded 
over the skyline.
