On the upper Yukon the old
method of mooae fiunting in earlv
winter was for the Indian« to go out
in anowthoc* after a heavy ¿mow-
fall in M-arch of fre»h trad». When
one wn» found the swifte«t runner
of the party prepared hitnuelf to
run down the monae. Stripped of

run loaded with ball, he started off

leisurely.
Sometime* a mooe** would run
eight or ten mile« before being
overtaken. The runner never «top
ped until he had overtaken and kill-
d it, and he never stopped then
The cold at that season i* verv in
tense. The hunter, heated with h -
long nin, would quickly have froxen
to «loath if he had stopped. For
that reason, after having killed the
moose, he returned to camp at a
tin, leaving hi* fol!«'» er«, «'oner>'
