"What is the avcragS,ratc of speed made
by n reindeer in travelling"
1T depends upon the condition Of the
roads For a little while after you get
started they seem 10 go about a mile
minute. They will first run at break
neck speed. When they get quicted down,
l think they make about six or seven
miles an hour. The people from Labrador
say they make 80 miles an hour, but /
have not been able 90 concur In that opin-
ion. The training and breaking Of tho
reindeer is n very interesting and exciting
process for those who love excitement
The sled has no tongue or shafts 1t is
or inches wide, and therc aro two lines
reaching TO the head Of each deer, while at
the end there are loops which slip over the
hand and catch around the wrist The
moment you let the deer loose he darts of
at a brealneck speed, and every moment
the sled strikes distractions. Before you
go very far you will upset and strike the
snow or ice That has always bccn my
experience. l have never attempted 20
drive one without being tuinbled of in
that fashion. Interview in Kate Fields
