So he had bought these skins from queer little people there, who live in snow huts, and instead of horses or oxen, use dogs to draw their sleds.

They are called huskies and they are so strong and so fleet of foot that they pull sleds for hours across the frozen lakes at almost the speed of a running horse.

Bjaaland, our ski and sledmaker, took the sleds in hand, and when spring arrived he had entirely made over our sledge equipment.

We discarded all our sleds, for they were too heavy and unwieldy for the smooth surface of the Ice Barrier.

Before I caught the hang of them durn disconnected bob-sleds I saw where the 'skee' come in.

On the second of January two lots of Indians passed, one with dogs hauling flour and bacon for Benham, and the other lot without dogs, dragging light hand-sleds.

The burying-grounds on both sides are now turned into threshing-floors, and all day long the Turkish peasants drive their heavy sleds around among the tomb-stones.

Your father, Oliver, wishes me to go out on the pond, and bring home the sled we left there, the other night, in the storm.

Counting Betty's, this gave them four sleds.

Oh, the men lashing the sleds and drawing tight the thongs.

So the boys left the dog gnawing his bone, and went up after another load; but before they had half loaded their sleds, Oliver saw Franco coming, bounding up the road, towards them.

Householders jocosely shoveled their walks; small children resurrected attic sleds; here and there a farmer appeared on Main Street during the forenoon in a pung-sleigh or cutter with jingling bells.

He went into the barn-yard, and he found Amos and Jonas at work in a shed beyond, getting down a sled which had been stowed away there during the summer.

" "You meant to take the only means there wereto carry off the sled that I couldn't pull any farther" The Boy looked up quickly.

He was forever inventing improvements for the fishing apparatus, oars, boats, coasting sleds, household and farm utensils, often forgetting the tasks his father had given him while doing it.
