built for that purpose and spent the
evenings playing cards. The weather
was not very favorable the first few
days, but afterwards cleared up and the
sun shone bright. The bunch started

they were. Some of them would lay
still and our hunters could pick then
up. Others would sit up straight or
their launches and our hunters coulC
