Having enjoyed this awhile went on the Lee-side. My little Esquimaux company gathered fuel & in a moment had a capital fire agoing. 
[[?]] Oo-Kout-lenn[[guess]] & Martin Arny-oo-garng out with their pipes for a smoke. I blush to own it, I changed their pipes with a civilization product, tobacco - villianious tobacco! Kan-boo-bar was without a pipe. Having one in my possession handed her that. While I took bearings
