Chapter XXVIII
"M" FOR MORSE Two in the village bathed that day. The other was Tom Morse. He discarded his serviceable moccasins, his caribou-skin capote with the fur on, his moose-skin trousers, and his picturesque blanket shirt. For these he substituted the ungainly clothes of civilization, a pair of square-toed boots, a store suit, a white shirt. This was not the way Faraway dressed for gala occasions, but in several respects the trader did not choose to follow the habits of the North.
