"We have had an interesting experience, have made a number of friends, such as they are, though there can never be much in the way of friendship between us and these people." "How could we have spent the winter, which will be cold and severe?" asked his brother.

This explanation we have already tried to find. It is a process of extinction. It favors the fittest, but only by leaving them to enjoy the food and place formerly claimed, or still furnished, by the less fit.
