From their power ful bows arrow after arrow was buried in the body of the selected victim, some of them even pa...ssing completely through it, until at length the animal fell, and the chase was ended.
CHAPTER XVIII.

In fact, their very existence, at that time, depended upon these animals. Not only did their flesh form the chief and almost the sole article of In dian food, but with the skins they covered their lodges, and made boats, ropes, lariats, trunks, or par fleche sacks, saddles, shields, frames for war bonnets, gloves, moccasins, leggings, shirts, gun- covers, whips, quivers, knife - scabbards, cradles, saddle-bags and blankets, beds, bridles, boots, glue, and a score of other necessary articles.
