"Counts six," he continued, muttering to himself while placing the scalp in his belt; "six at fifty three hunder shiners for 'Pash har; cuss beaver trappin'! says I." Having secured the bleeding trophy, he wiped his knife upon the hair of one of the buffaloes, and proceeded to cut a small notch in the woodwork of his gun, alongside five others that had been carved there already.
