Abraham Lincoln, the chief herder, embarking on the river to go up after the deer. They sailed 12 miles up the river, tramped across country 10 miles to the first camp, then eight miles to the second camp. They brought back 2000 deer to the corral, a mile east of our camp. The dog is a collie used in herding deer, they are called reindeer dogs here; he would not wade out to the boat and Ruben Itook picked him up and put him in it. He is used to the boats, but didn’t like the water. Notice the differences between this a white man’s boat, and the native skin boats.
