You may intersperse it all through with cold ham. A pot-pie may be made of ducks, rabbits, squirrels or venison. Also of beefsteak. If you use no ham, season with salt.
One of our best lodges has lately been emptied by the death of its master; it will be a long time before his son can grow big enough to sit in his place. There is his widow; she will want venison to feed her and her children, for her sons are yet like the young of the robin, before they quit the nest. By your hand has this great calamity befallen her.
Then the chief, with an assistant or two would go to the great piles of food, and cut off generous pieces of venison and bear's meat, and, with an assortment of other things, make up as many large parcels as there were names on his list, each bundle, perhaps, containing enough food to last the afflicted ones a couple of days.
"And a crust for our teeth," whispered Paignton Rob. The ears of the serving-man were keen, "Shall it be a venison pie?" he said. "A venison pie," broke in Morgan; "and I pay." The three broken sailor men attacked the ample venison pasty with a zeal and thoroughness that betokened long abstention from work of a similar nature, and the sack trickled gratefully down parched throats.
"I fear them not; the only difficulty is, that we shall not be able to find a sale for the venison now," replied Edward. "Oh never fear that; I will give you the names of those who will take all your venison off your hands without any risk on your part, except in the killing of it.

Thence to White Hall to the Fishery, and there did little.
However, at the end of December they reached Island Lake, where they entered a camp of Matonabi's people, and here they found a little food in the way of fish and dried venison.
The night overtook us just as we were discussing a haunch of venison roasted by l'Encuerado. A distant roaring told us that we were surrounded by wild beasts; but we had every confidence in our two fires and the screen which l'Encuerado had constructed; so we went quietly to sleep, although we were awakened several times by a renewal of their frightful uproar. We were all stirring by sunrise.
But in this case the real scruple appears to have been felt not so much at placing the venison on the ground as at bringing it into contact with walrus meat. Sometimes magical implements and remedies are supposed to lose their virtue by contact with the ground, the volatile essence with which they are impregnated being no doubt drained off into the earth.
Nothing of the sort met his gaze. The Moqui was sitting there, staring at Bob, who had straightened up, and was starting to dance around, holding the paper in his extended hand. "What ails you, Bob?" demanded the other. "Haven't been taken with a sudden pain, after all that venison you stowed away, I hope." "Come out here, Frank!" called the lad by the fire.
