Fort Chippewayan in three days more, and Fort Resolution a week later seventeen days from Athabasca Landing to Fort Resolution a record trip for a dog-train! MacNair was known as a man of few words, but Ripley wondered at the ominous silence with which his every attempt at conversation was met.
DeBar had saved his life, and now, when DeBar might have killed him, he was offering him food. The man was spitting the bird on the sharpened end of a stick, and when he had done this he pointed to the big Mackenzie hound, tied to the broken stub of a dead sapling. "I brought enough bannock to carry me to Chippewayan, but he got into it the first night, and what he left was crumbs.
The tribes who inhabit the banks of the McKenzie, and the interior parts of the district, are members of the powerful and numerous Chippewayan family, and are known by the names of Slaves, Dogribs, Rabbitskins, and Gens des Montagnes.

It was still early in the day when Philip crossed the river into the barrens and with each step now his pulse beat faster. DeBar could not be far ahead of him. He was sure of that. Very soon he must overtake him. And then there would be a fight.

For a moment Howland paused in the middle of the room and looked about him.
"He says listen to the great orator of the Chippewayan. He has summoned all the chiefs of the tribes south of Great Slave Lake. He has held council.
