Like an insane man he hastened down the river bank, fighting his way through the brush. The thickets were dense, ordinarily impenetrable to any mortal strength except to that mighty, incalculable power of the moose and grizzly; yet they could not restrain him now.
Nevertheless, it abounds in pike, dory, and tullabees, the latter a close congener of the whitefish, but finer in flavour and very fat. Indeed, the best fed dogs we had seen were those summering here. The lake, where we struck it, was literally covered with pin-tail ducks and teal; but it is not a good moose country, and consequently the food supply of the natives is mainly fish.
Well!" "Well, I'm a tottering imbecile. What's the matter with my legs? my prophetic soul, it hurts! Oh, I see; that's where the old warrior's hoof caught me sideways. Now, I'll tell you what, I'm going to have another moose to take back to Marigold Lake." "Oh?" "Yes. I'm going to take back a young, live moose." "A significant ambition.
I have already referred to the relative size of the antlers of the moose from different localities, and called attention to the inferiority of the heads from the extreme east. Large heads have, however, come from this section, and even now one hears of several heads being taken annually in New Brunswick running to five feet and a little over in spread.
This room also contains a Moose so perfectly carved that the skeptic who searches diligently for imperfections finally clamors for the whole company to celebrate his discovery of the artist's noble skill.
Here were big bear-skins on the rough board floor, and on the walls horns of moose and caribou. Here roared an open fireplace and a big wood-burning stove.
Me go out to kill bird for make dinner, two days back, an' see the moose in one place where hims no can escape but by one way narrow way, tree feets, not more, wide. Hims look to me me's look to him. Then me climb up side of rocks so hims no touch me, but must pass below me quite near. Then me yell horbuble yell!" Me shoot in back of hims head, an' him drop."
We purchased from them a pair of snow-shoes, in exchange for some ammunition. The Chipewyans are celebrated for making them good and easy to walk in; we saw some here upwards of six feet long, and three broad. With these unwieldy clogs an active hunter, in the spring, when there is a crust on the surface of the snow, will run down a moose or red deer.
"If we ever have any serious fallin' out with Colonel Gid it's like to be over that moose," drawled a man. "To judge by the moose, we must be near Number 7 camp," Parker suggested. "Just over the hossback," was the laconic answer. Parker was soon looking down on it from the hilltop.
They had cut up the moose meat, which they had found in good condition, and brought all they deemed worth saving down to the landing.
