This is the way Turquisians take their
meals: First they made away with gal
Ion kettle of bot tea. Then they pre-
pared four-quart pailful of boiled fish
and soup. just as this was dispatched
their comrade raturned, and the pail was
twice filed with boiled beef, all Of which
was devoured by the three, the bones
being cracked for the marrow. They
thea rinsed out the pail and cooked It
full of "crupa, a kind Of mush, which
went the way Of the fish and beef They
then fell upon "ukale." or dried salmon,
devouring even the skin, after broiling it
over the FIRE. Then they built their own
campfire and began to cook another
neal. We did not keep any account Of
the dishes, but the last thing we heard
after retiring was the cracking Of beet
bones to get at the marrow. Sgartz told
Us that q lev months before a number Of
horses had been sent to Alan under
charge Of half dozen Cossaeks. One
Of the horses broke his leg and had 70 be
killed. At evening the SIX Cossacks sat
down 10 the carcass. and in the morning
there was nothing left Of it but The hide
and bones. Even the head and entrsils
had been eaten.
