In less than an hour after their men had left them they were busy with seal-steaks over the cooking-lamp, and the place was rendered somewhat home-like by several fur garments being spread on the rocks to dry.
It would be interesting to watch the growth of the gardens as life became easier and more comfortable in the colonies.
