Upwards3 of six hundred buffaloes4 had been killedand as the supply of meat before their arrival had beenample, the camp was now overflowing5 with plenty.
Feasts were given by the chiefs, and the medicine menwent about the camp uttering loud cries, which weremeant to express gratitude6 to the Great Spirit for thebountiful supply of food.

Having no market for the disposal oftheir furs, the Indians of course had more than theyknew what to do with, and were therefore glad to exchangethose of the most beautiful and valuable kindfor a mere9 trifle, so that the trappers laid aside theirtraps for a time and devoted10 themselves to traffic.
