They Said It Was Not Half So Much Like Home Now, And Recalled The "Good Time" We Had Had For Three Weeks.

Lyman having lost the ow, we have no milk.

No one makes bread; they dry the venison into chips, and getting the meals at all seems a work of toil and difficulty, instead of the pleasure it used to be to us.
