Belfleur and a half- breed Scotch-Eskimo named Saunders are employed as Indian and Eskimo interpreters at the French Post, and are the only ones of M. The'venet's people with whom he can converse.

Then we smoked some of The'venet's cigars and blessed him for his thoughtfulness in providing them.
At The'venet's, however, everything went smoothly, and the sumptuous meal of baked whitefish, venison, with canned vegetables, plum pudding, cheese and coffee delicacies held in reserve for the occasion made us forget the bleak wilderness and ice-bound land in which we were. It seemed for a time even now as though we should not be able to secure dogs and drivers.
