The hand-sledge is about three feet long, fifteen inches wide, and half a foot above the ground, on runners shod with iron.
The men brought supplies of moose meat from the hunter's tent which is pitched near the Basquiau Hill, forty or fifty miles from the house and whence the greatest part of the meat is procured. The residents have to send nearly the same distance for their fish and on this service horse-sledges are used.
