Sport and travel in the northland of Canada . ky graves, but very rarely have I found theskeleton, only the old deerskin robes in which the corpsehad been wrapped remain. I questioned Amer-or-yuak, whose name I must reallyshorten to Amer, about this. He replied that bears andwolves remove the stones, devour the bodies, and pack awaythe bones. He also stated that it is not uncommon intimes of starvation for the Huskies to have recourse toeating a dead body. He said that he had seen it done, but that he had never participated in the feast.

Deer were plentiful around us, so that there was nofear of starvation, or even of running short, but all oursupplies from Fort Resolution, hard tack and tea, had beenfinished some days before. There were large numbers ofduck along the coast, and a few flocks of swans passed overour camp. I stalked and shot one of these birds with myMannlicher carbine one afternoon, and I was rather proudof the feat. I had often attempted it before, but had foundit difficult to raise myself sufficiently to get a shot at thebirds body without being seen. The
