He then went, in bent form, in easy, careful strides toward the tree till he got under the bird.

As I was the only white man, the Indians gave me the first shot at it. l shot, as the Indians bet I'd miss. A moment later a deer was seen jumping eastward through the brush, as the boys jollied me on my having missed such good, broad side mark. One of the Indians t,len shot and down came the deer. We then went to the site, and there was the deer dead; but we were soon sur prised that there had been two deer there and that had hit the one I had shot at. This one, badly wounded, had run, terribly bleeding, into the near by wood. We looked for it till it got dark. Then we returned to camp with our one deer.
 On arriving we were surprised to find that the Indian who had been left with the boat and camp had succeeded in killing male moose. We were indeed happy.
 That night after supper I retired very tired, but the Indians had other things at hand. They wished to try their hands at the Moccasin Game.
