' ; For my foot-gear I discarded my leather boots. Outside of my or- dinary socks I had a pair of squirrel-skin socks with the fur inside, sheep- skin stockings with the wool inside and reaching to the knee, and outside of these were deer-skin boots, with the hair outside, and reaching up near- ly to the junction of my lower limbs. Added to these garments for ex- cluding cold was a robe of sheepskins with the wool on, and backed with UPSET INTO THE SNOW. 363 heavy clotli. It was seven feet squa...re, and something like a dozen skins were required for making it. At one end it was shaped into a sort of bag for receiving the feet. " Fred suggested that such a costume must be very inconvenient for walking, and it must be no easy matter to enter and leave a sleigh when thus wrapped for a cold night. " You are quite right, " said Mr. Liegeman ; ' it is the work of a minute or more to turn over at night and change one's position, excepting, of course, when the sleigh turns over first. " " Did that happen often ?" " Fortunately not, " was the reply, " but the few experiences of this kind that I had were quite sufficient.
