Until we got to Resolution we would get no fish for dog feed, so we were forced to use corn meal and tallow. This necessitated an endless performance each night when we camped.

Five trains of dogs each, twenty five dogs in all, could put up a grand melee if they once got a good start.
Owing to various difficulties, we made very poor time over the 145 miles to Resolution,
