He said, "I am sure Mrs. Hubbard will not be able to do enough for
you, especially when she knows how good you have been to me. I
would like to have you come with me to Michigan. I am sure my
sister would like to have you tell them the story about our trip."
Sunday, October llth.--Had four small trout for lunch, only little
larger than a sardine. Late in the evening we came to our old
camp, where we had the caribou. Most of the bones were carried off
by some animals. Picked up all we could find and made some broth,
and very, very strong broth too, which I suppose no one could
hardly believe that any human being could eat. The bones were full
of maggots, and when it boiled for some time the maggots would boil
out. It just looked like if it had been little rice in it. We
drunk it up maggots and all. It was pretty high, but found it
good. Nothing was too bad for us to eat.
Monday, October 12th.--Fine day. In the morning we had bone broth
again and tea. We started off carrying all the bones we could find
in our pail, also taking the caribou horns with us. At noon we had
broth and piece of the hide we got off from the caribou horns.
