double-fed

Updated: May 11, 2025

The party that stayed at Crane City until March 1, consisted of Commander Peary, MacMillan, Goodsell, Marvin, myself, and fourteen Esquimos, whom you don't know, and ninety-eight dogs, that you may have heard about. The dogs were double-fed and we put a good meal inside ourselves before turning-in on the night of February 28, 1909.
