On
the seventeenth, we saw many musk-oxen, several of which the Indians killed;
when we agreed to stay here a day or two, to dry and pound[U]
some of the carcases to take with us. The flesh of any animal, when it is thus
prepared, is not only hearty food, but is always ready for {39} use, and at the
same time very portable. In most parts of Hudson's Bay it is known by the name
of Thew-hagon,[40]
but amongst the Northern Indians it is called Achees.
