while from the rear uprights each of 
us strung a line across the back, from 
which was suspended our ditty bags 
and “personals.” 
A pair of folding lanterns hung from 
the rafters, one at the head of the 
bunk, and the other just to one side of 
the stove, between 
it and the bunks. 
Both lanterns were 
rigged on lines to be 
lowered, and “tied 
off” at any height, 
for reading while in 
the bunks, and for 
the “cook” to “see 
what’s doing” on 
the stove. 
No. 8 shows the 
full detail and lay- 
out of the muslin, in 
building. The mus- 
lin was dyed a deep 
green, before assem- 
bling, and after set- 
ting up at the lake, 
it was opaqued with 
black water color on 
the inside, to help in 
throwing the  out- 
side light down the 
snow -swept' space, 
about 10 or 12 feet 
all the way around 
the craft, and up 
through the spear- 
ing hole. The win-

into the roof, open- 
ing toward the rear, 
with inside cover of 
black canton flannel, 
running from back 
to front. There were also three 12” 
round auto windows, No. 6, one in 
front and one on each side as shown, 
No. 8, fitted with a 12” drawn string 
sleeve, No. 7, of black canton flannel. 
These were for the use of the one “on 
the battery” of tip-ups when he desired 
to “look-see,” without opening the door,

to fold the flannel wpward on the wires, 
when a downward pull was given to 
the draw strings, of which there were 
two sets, one in and “tother” out. 
When located, snow was packed about 
the pockets carrying the sticks No. 1 
at the base of the cabin, which also 
helped to keep out the light and wind.

The framework, No. 3, 4 and 5, was 
put together at the lake, with the use 
of loggers brace and bits, and our axes. 
Four 8’ lengths of %” braided rope 
(No. 3) attached to a 3” heavy harness 
“fP” ring, carrying a 2’ rope handle, 
at one end, and to 3” harness snaps at 
the other, which in 
turn snapped to 3’ 
rope beckets which 
passed through the 
ends of the runners. 
This. was the har- 
ness used in haul- 
ing. After the floor 
—saplings, flatted 
on the upper side 
and the under, 
where crossing the 
runners — was laid, 
it was covered to 
level with sand, on 
which was placed 
the ground cloth. 
The stove was set 
on a flat rock, and 
chinked at the base 
all’round with small 
stones, toallow 
Diy Ooms drateerat 
night, for banking, 
as well as for fire 
protection. A small 
wood rack ran the 
deep way of the 
cabin, between the 
door and spearing 
hole, for 2’ wood. 
Garbage was dis- 
posed of, to advan- 
tage, by tossing into 
the spearing hole, 
thereby acting as a 
baiting ground. A 
storm set was made 
as shown in No. 1 
by chopping a hole: 
in the ice, putting in 
a peg until it froze 
and then it stayed. The toboggan was 
lashed to the sides of the shanty, at its 
base, and the fish were “cached” in a 
“snow pack.”
