Here feeling that he was about to give way to a boastful spirit, he got himself out of the difficulty of having to finish the sentence by making a sudden and somewhat stern demand for "more bear-steak." "Vid pleasieur, Monsieur," said Le Rue, placing a huge slice on his master's plate.
"An' lave all the goold!" cried Larry O'Neil, pausing in his mastication of a tough lump of bear-steak. "Why, boy," said Captain Bunting, laying down his knife, and looking at Ned in amazement, "what's put that in your head, eh?" "Being somewhat tired of grubbing in the mud has put it into my head," replied Ned, smiling.
If this weather holds, the ice must give way soon, and then we'll be able to push ahead faster." The trapper said this quietly, and without looking up from the bear-steak with which he was busy, so that Redding's look of surprise appeared to be lost on him. The fur-trader and his man exchanged glances.
At first they had some little difficulty in making a fire, as their matches, warranted water-proof, had all got damp when Tommy fell into the water an incident I forgot to mention; but after trying and trying, the tinder caught from the flint and they quickly had a fine fire crackling in a corner of the cave, and here they cooked bear-steak and had the finest dinner they had had since they came into the Arctic Regions.
Peter had once eaten a piece of bear-steak, or it might have been moose-meat, he was not sure which; but at any rate it had been brought down from Moosehead Lake. "Bears 'round here?" thought Horace, in a fright. He quickened his pace. O, if he could only be sure it was the right road! Perhaps they were walking straight into a den of bears.
We breakfasted on some bear-steak, which we had fortunately secured, then set to work to scrape the skin and to pack it up in a tight compass. As we had no wish to carry the skin further than we could help, we put about and steered a course for home, which we calculated it would take us four days to reach. Nothing occurred worth narrating for the next three days.
To the astonishment of all, she tipped the beam at three hundred pounds, which is a few pounds short of the record for the largest she-bear ever weighed. Two of the neighbors helped remove the fine skin and received some bear-steak in return for their labor. Late in the afternoon, the now famous hunter again shouldered his gun and set off for the woods, followed by old Hecla.
I have been told that Kablunets know nearly everything; I know next to nothing. We will talk much. It seems to me as if I had been born only to-day. Come; let us begin!" "My friend, you expect too much," replied Rooney, with a laugh, as he sat down to devote himself to the bear-steak which Nunaga had placed before him.
We followed it for two miles, and found it went up to a slide of rocks; they had come down from a cliff some years before, for there were bushes growing among them. As a rule a black bear will always leave you alone if you leave him, and hasn't much fight in him at the best; so up we went, thinking we were sure of our bear-steak without much trouble in getting it.
Leaping Horse has brought some dry wood up from their hearth. Can light fire now. You may guess it was not long before we had a fire blazing in front of our den, and I never knew how good bear-steak really was till that evening.
