Kama grunted with satisfaction, and the work of making camp was begun.
The division of labor was excellent.

Each knew what he must do.

With one ax Daylight chopped down the dead pine.

Kama, with a snowshoe and the other ax, cleared away the two feet of snow above the Yukon ice and chopped a supply of ice for cooking purposes.

A piece of dry birch bark started the fire, and Daylight went ahead with the cooking while the Indian unloaded the sled and fed the dogs their ration of dried fish.
