Phutu bv George Sliiras, 3rd VIEW OF SKILAK LAKE FROM OUR CAMP (SEE PAGE 439) A COW MOOSE THAT BECAME SELF- EDUCATED "Caribou Island Camp, "August I/—Titer., 74-38. "Just before noon the wind veered to the south, coming well offshore. Char- lie paddled me across the bay to the blind and then went after a mess of partridges. "I was hardly in ambush before the old cow moose was at a mud hole op- posite, drinking a gallon or two of the muddy mixture. So active was the ef- fect upon the salivary glands that long strings of saliva drooled to the ground (see also pages 443 and 448). ''Determined to try for a close picture and to test her disposition when thus interrupted, I boldly walked in view, crossing the bare and much-trampled field to within 50 feet. She stood broad- side, head up, and unquestionably look- ing at me out of one eye, but to all ap- pearances utterly indiiferent to my ap- proach (see page 451).

"Wishing to avoid alarming her so soon, I backed across the field to the edge of the marsh, but she still followed. Turning my back to the animal, I walked ahead, and upon reaching a place where the ground was almost impassable with fallen timber, I stopped. By this time I noticed that she had crossed my tracks, and thinking perhaps I was mistaken abo
