- For breakfast we ate one partridge leaving
the other for lunch. Threw more things away, one blanket and more
films, and at noon more things left behind. I had a good suit of
underwear with me, saving it till cold weather, but that day at
noon I left everything belonging to me. I was too weak to take off
the bad and put on the good. Also left some films and - came to the
Nascaupee.
That day just before noon, we came to a place where Mr. Hubbard had
caught some fish when we were going up, and we thought that perhaps
we could get some fish there again, but the little stream was
nearly dry. We sat down and had a rest.
A little lake about 400 Yards from us on our way. This little
stream ran into the lake. Just near the lake I saw a caribou
coming along following this little river to where we were.
I told the boys, "There's a caribou coming along."
We all fell flat on the ground; but he was on the lee side of us
and soon found out we were there. He stood - behind some little
trees and had his head up looking towards where we were, and all of
a sudden he was gone, and we didn't have the chance to fire.
