CCSSary SUp- plies was pre- pared, and these were weighed out and put into sacks. Men and teams were sent off to obtain a supply of dog- meat an indispensable commodity from a shanty on the south side of the river. When they reached the place they found it in possession of five polar bears three large ones and two cubs. Along with the dog- meat were brought back the skins of one old bear and the two cubs. During Sunday the thermometer fell to 21 below zero, making the river-ice strong and per- ...fectly safe. CHAPTER XVII. ON SNOW SHOES AND DOG-SLEDV. ON the morning of the 6th of November, after a stay of seventeen days at Fort Churchill, we were again ready to set out for the south. Our team con- sisted of six Eskimo dogs, attached tandem fashion to a sled twelve feet long and a foot and a half wide. This sled was of the regular Eskimo type, the runners being formed of sticks hewn down to the dimensions of about two inches by six inches, and slightly curved up in front. Upon the sled was loaded about six hundred pounds of provisions, dog-meat, blankets and other dunnage, all securely lashed on within a canvas wrapper.
