A GOLGOTHA.—The next day we crossed the
great trails from Fort Garry to Turtle Mountain, and passed
a large encampment ground near a running stream, which
had the same general appearance as the one by the sandhills
on Mouse river. The buffalo trails were very numerous,
and crossed our path in every direction, converging to and
diverging from the ravines, coulees, and marches, where
they had sought water. The place for miles and miles in
every direction, was one huge Golgotha. T bleachingeahyersbythe
bones and skulls of buffaloes, slain informer
hunters, whitened the green grass on every acre, almost on
every rood of ground ; and the frelher carcases of those
killed during the year's hunt were scattered over the ground,
and tainted the air in every direction. We could almost
follow the track of the hunters in their chase, where the
fight had been thickest, and
hundredsbuli
had kept up a longer covered a single acre
or two ; and where some sturdier
flight, and, finally in an agony of thirst, had fallen and died
in the middle of a marsh. The grass was of a greener green,
and the flowers had a livelier hue which had been watered
with their blood. The rank verdure made a striking frame
for the great black-haired skulls, or the heavy arching rib-
bones, now bleaching to whiteness, or perchance covered
with shreds of flesh which the crows and hawks and foxes
and wolves had not quite devoured. As the train passed
on through this sickening place the crows and hawks rose
from their carrion feast, and hovered in the air, shrieking
and cawing, till we had passed ; and the gaunt grey wolves
scared away by our approach, ran off over the prairie in
long, lithe flexile lea s, now and then pausing in the thickest
grass, and turning to watch us, licking their chops until we
again came nearer, and then leaping away to hido in the
long rushes of some distant marsh. At night we could
hear their long, melancholy howlings, and as if not satisfied
frighteningthe horses into a stampedo, and not unfre-
quentlyt2Lrhiegirh chewing up their hide lariats within a dozen feet of
Red River and Beyond.
