A journey from Prince of Wales's Fort, in Hudson's Bay, to the northern ocean [microform] : undertaken by order of the Hudson's Bay Company for the discovery of copper mines, a north west passage, &c. in the years 1769, 1770, 1771 & 1772. Indians of North America; Natural history; Indiens; Sciences naturelles. They arc alio remarkably fond of the womb of the buffalo, elk, deer, ^c. which they eagerly devour with- out wafliing, or any other procefs but barely ftroking out the contents. This, in fome of the larger animals, and efpecially when they are fome time gone with young, needs no defcription to make it fufficiently difgufling ; and yet I have known fome in the Company's fcrvice remarkably fond of the dilh, though I am not one of the number. The womb of the beaver and deer is well enough, but that of the moofe and buffalo is very rank, and tridy difgufting *. Our * The Indian method of preparing this pnaccoiintable difl: is by throwing the filthy bag acrofs a pole diredlly over the fire, the finoke of which, they fay, much improves it, by taking off the original flavour j and when any of it is to be cooked, a large flake, like as much tripe, is cut off and boiled for a few minutes; but the many large nodes with which the infide of the womb is ftudded, make it abominable. Thefe nodes are as incapable of being divefted of moifture as the ikin cf a live eel; but when boiled, much re- femble, both in Ihape and colour, the yolk of an egg, and arc lb called by the natives, and as eagerly devoured by them. The tripe of the buflalo is exceedingly good, and the Indian method of cooking it infinitely fuperior to that praftifed in Europe. When opportunity will permit, they wafli it tolerably clean in cold water, ftrip off all the honey- comb, and only boil it about half, cr three-quarters of an hour: in that time it if.
