They spread their skins within the tent, and creeping in, kept one another as warm as they could until morning. Of course hunger kept them from sleeping late. They were up and out of the tent by an early hour. Their fire was re-kindled, and they were making preparations for a fresh pot of rock-tripe, when they were startled by the note of a well-known bird.
Even on stone one can find liverish rock-tripe which is edible if one dries it to complete dessication before soaking it again to make a soup or broth. Before he searched for food, though, Lockley said abruptly, "You said you saw the creatures and they weren't men. What did they look like?" "They were a long way away," Jill told him.

The Indians prefer the tripe de roche when prepared along with the roe of fish, or when boiled in fish liquor. Our weary voyageurs resolved to remain among the rocks for that night at least; and with this intent they put up their little tent. They did not kindle any fire, as the willows were scarce, and there would be barely enough to make one or two more boilings of the rock-tripe.

Not even a bit of rock-tripe in these parts the last resource of starving men could be met with. They encamped in a plain, where not a tree stood not even a rock to shelter them.
