kin. which means house. My hostess
invited me to join the family at the
evening meal This consisted of a
stew of mutton, served in a granite
utensil of a kind not usually seen; ma

the stew was served to me in a saucer;

In the morning the old squaw was

wash up the dishes from the night be-

breakfast in the same pan. My appe-

blankets, a very meagre supply OF
cooking utensils and dishes, few ar
